Journey

A week ago today, we got up at the crack of dawn to be on a coach to travel three and half hours to the city of dreaming spires, Oxford.  The journey itself wasn't too bad, but it was very hot that, one of the hottest days in fact.  

When we arrived at the journey's end the coach driver dropped up on the outskirts of the city.  There was nothing for it we purchased a map of the city.  

By the time we found our bearing and found our way in the centre and fought against the crowd who seemed to be going against us we found the city centre.

We passed Carfax Tower and saw the famous clock that strikes every quarter

We passed a very overgrown old graveyard.

We decided to find some lunch we hadn't eaten since 6.30, so we headed for on of the many museums of the city, ending up at the Ashmolean Museum.  The food was superb, I eat then thought I should of taken a photo for here, well I was hungry!  We ate in the cafe in the basement, the restaurant was on the top floor.  The food we had was reasonably priced and delicious.

After had eaten, we felt we could tackle the city.  We just looked on the ground floor of some of the fabulous museums, for some reason we missed the Natural History Museum.

We went into the grounds and shop of the Bodleian Library.
They are building a new library and the hoarding around the building site is this  I wished I had taken an actual photo as it was quite spectacular! 

And saw the outside of the Radcliffe Camera

We couldn't go into either as they were holding weddings

Five hours of touring Oxford and three and half hour journey home we were ready for our bed!
