Thursday - MAINLY in Oxford

Dear blog-reader,
so it was our big day, our chance to finally present a little town north of London called Oxford.

The hardest part of the day, as everyone will probably agree, was getting up in the morning.

With some of our course mates even skipping breakfast to sleep a few more minutes and still be on time at 9 o'clock am in the lobby, the one hour train ride was probably a good opportunity to catch up on sleep and the train went almost silent within a few minutes after leaving the station.

At around 10:30 am we arrived in Oxford and started guiding our sheep through the lovely town.
When one student answered affirmatively to the question whether her feet hurt after the tour we felt like we had done a good job showing the students around and impart the knowledge that we had gathered during hours of strenuous research.
Additionally a little bit of advice by Mr Umbrella (latterly also Mr Mind The Gap ^^) and some improvisation seemed to do the trick.

We released them at the Covered Market and, as Patricia already mentioned in her blog entry, we all decided to get something to eat.
Many chose Pizza Hut as their favorite place to have lunch or make up for their breakfast that they missed out or simply overslept.
As Patricia was praising smoothies she got at moo-moos, we, part of the Pizza Hut Company, will laud the extraordinary and phenomenal chocolate cake served at the pizza restaurant.

The group met again around 2:30 pm and we headed back to London with the other courses.
On our way to Oxford Train Station, Mr Umbrella got the chance to be a paparazzo taking photographs of a couple of a love story put on stage by a few students of the Joergeling course.

Back in London, after another relaxing train ride, we immediately went to London's cathedral.
Although we were disappointed by a not even sung Evensong, St Paul's still proved to be a beautiful place of worship.

After that everyone was free to enjoy the remainder of the day.
Some went to the Hard Rock Cafe, some got lost on the way and others spent their time getting drunk at the hotel or at Hyde Park. (xD)

Rumors are afloat that some students even met the bobbies... ;)




Doesn't it look delicious?

So long
Steven and Dori

What a surprise that's it's me, your shepherd, who is wondering about this seemingly bizzare, obviously strange but at least mysterious encounter with the eye of the law. Thus, I insist on more information - otherwise, you are very likely to embark on a journey through the world of British poetry!
