The Oxford visit...

We went to Oxford to visit some friends. To make use of the Megabus promotion, we woke up at 4.00 am , and on a bus- Oxford tube by 5:30. Dawn by just breaking. Between some semi-unconcious effort to check out the scenery enroute and desperate need to catch some sleep, we reached at about 7am.

Warning!!!! No toilet at the bus station at these times, as the two 24 hour cubicles had been vandalised!By who? I wondered. Isnt this supposed to be a genteel town, filled with intelectuals? The public toilet would only be opened at a later time. I spent the rest of the time, filling up suduko from the free papers, and fighting the urge....which was intensified after copious amount of good old cappucino and very yummy danish pastry for only £1.50 from the corner shop.
















It was a rewarding day though. Managed to see quite a bit of places.
We were "lost", after missing our bus-stop, but was rewarded with the nice scenery and beautiful cottages meant as student accomodations further from town, and some nice B&Bs along the way. Pity our friend, waiting for us at the bus-stop. Anyway, the driver was nice, and we just remained in the bus, and get off on the "way back".

We were lucky to be spared from looking for accomodation in Oxford. Hotels or even hostels and B&Bs in Oxford is known to be Expensive. We are returning to another visit again, soon!

We pass by some of hotels and B&Bs to our friends' home. These are really charming cottages to stay in, will be nice for couples etc.

Here are some images captured by my handphone. I will get nicer ones from our friend later.

One of the back lanes of Oxford. It is really really "ancient"!.
