I had arranged another 7am wake up call, but unfortunately I was in no condition to get up so early thanks to the person staying in the room above me, who was stamping about on the creaky floor on the hour every hour through the night! I was quite tired when I got the wake up call, so decided to re…

Just a day trip to fill a saturday and also get a little work done.

This city was like a dream for so long... Oxford is very famous for its universities, the most ancient ones in England. They are incredible ! Most of them are in or close to the town centre. Some are open for visitors but can be closed for some events, some are free, or you sometimes have to pay (…

Where should I start the story?...okay! When I got the final plan of the vacation leave at work, I was bummed because I was the last one to pick and only 3 weeks from the period of mid January till beginning of February left . I had to wait for almost 9 months for my next h…

My cousin and  I left London from Paddington Station by train, and headed to Oxford.  We left at 9:20am, and arrived in Oxford an hour later.  It was a beautiful day, so we went on a guided walking tour.  It was between that and a biking tour, as bikes seem to be the transportat…

During my Christmas break in London, I decided to take a day trip to Oxford just to see some of the locations where Harry Potter movies were filmed. Here are some of the pics. :)

Oxford and Bath, "raining cats and dogs"

Please don't judge me by the title of this post. It's one of those things you say when you're relieved that, although you're 20 minutes late for your bus to Oxford, you're still able to catch it. Yeah... too soon... too soon.We made a little daytrip to Oxford where we would meet up with our friend,…

Once I had wished everyone in Thornbury and Bristol a fond farewell I jumped a bus to Oxford.Oxford is of course a well known university town, but I didn't realise that the whole town is made up of several colleges or learning institutions.    In New Zealand when we talk about our unis th…

In May, 2005, I headed over to London to visit my two best friends. They were living there at the time.

I had never been to Oxford before, and I ended up not seeing very much of it. EF had the brilliant idea of letting kids go punting on the river. This seems ok in principle, but not for my  head strong italian kids. After one group didn't reappear at the allotted time we had to go and sear…

Since I had gone to sleep relatively early, I had no problem getting up early to see Oxford University's Christ Church. When I first walked in I could feel my anticipation rising. At any moment I could walk through a door and BAM! Im at Hogwarts haha. That moment came sooner rather than later. I wa…

4.12.09 Oxford – Christ Church   We enjoyed our last day in Oxford by biking into the city centre this afternoon.  Because there was significantly less traffic (next to none actually) on this Easter Sunday, we could bike all over the historical district with ease.  It was great!&…

I had a load of free time this weekend, so when that Oxford Tube coach pulled up on the corner of my block, I randomly decided to jump on and see what all the hype was about the 'City of Dreaming Spires.'

As a serious student in London, time to explore the city is often limited. Yet after exams, the sun shines, and time abounds: life is stress-free and beautiful. These are some of the photographs taken during my time in London.
