Oxford in July

So what about our adventures in London then? Well, we haven't even told you about our first visit yet. We went sightseeing by bus first and then by foot. We saw Harry Potter's train station as well as Richard Lionheart's old castle. We visited the bathrooms close to Big Ben and from the queue we had a great view over the Thames and London Eye. Other important stops were of course Trafalgar Square with the Lord Nelson statue, Picadilly Circus, St James Park, where some of us played football or relaxed, and Buckingham Palace, where the queen was auctually at home (the flag was up).

The second visit, the shopping day, started on Oxford Street for some and in Camden for others. In Camden we tried chocolate fountain dipped fruit and marshmallow sticks before buying really cool clothes, hats and jewellery. At lunch we met under the giant Freddie Mercury statue you can see above. After that we went to Covent Garden, Harrod's or Oxford Street depending on personal preference. A nice day overall, a few drops of rain but no showers.

It's only seven hours til the Arlanda group leaves Oxford and now everybody but Emma is sleeping. That our trip ends doesn't mean the blog must, though. Students, who want to add blog posts, just email Emma.
