Oxford in July

So finally we went punting, which means we pushed a long metal pole against the river bottom, while standing on a long flat-bottomed boat. Actually, only one person stood up in each boat, while the other four just enjoyed the slow cruise along the beautyful river. Punting might seem easy, but when your pole gets stuck in the low hanging branches on the sides of the river it's a challenge. One student even fell into the water, but he's not Swedish of course, since all Swedes except leader Emma are excellent punters. From the river we saw St Hildas College and Christchurch - an enchanting scenery. This is the very same river, where Alice in Wonderland used to go rowing with her author Lewis Carroll. Alright, I mean the little girl Alice, whom he wrote the novels for and about, but still quite thrilling, right?
