A few weeks ago, Jill and I took a trip for the day to Oxford. It's about 90 minutes from where we live in London. The bus there was a double decker so we sat on the top, in the very front. It felt very much like a Harry Potter movie. I swore we were going to get into a car accident. Anyway.... we saw a bunch of pretty churches and Universities in Oxford. It was the cutest little town and I fell in love with it as soon as we got off the bus. We ate at a little cafe called "Patisserie Valerie." They are pretty popular all around London. We had some breakfast and coffee, where a fly flew into my coffee. Great start to my morning. Then we looked in the toursity stores for Oxford University sweatshirts, of course.
Later, we made our way over to the Oxford Castle and went on a tour. We went all the way to the top of the castle, which had a great view, even though it was gloomy day. As we made our way down into the crypts of the castle where they stored dead bodies years ago, I thought Jill was going to have a panic attack. I had to hold her hand...
As the day went on, we decided to find the real reason why we went to Oxford in the first place.... to see the Great Hall and the courtyard featured in the Harry Potter movies. We couldn't get enough of it! It was awesome to be able to step into where the movies were created. We had to pay to get in, but it was so worth it! Oxford was definitely one of my favorite trips so far since I have been in the UK. I wouldn't mind moving there... nbd. :)
