Monday August 31st

Short visit to Oxford, and then the journey home.

This morning I wasn't feeling too good, but we went into Oxford again today. It was Bank Holiday Monday, and we were hoping to go into the Museum of Oxford, and the Museum of Science History....but both were closed. We are used to most places like Museum being open on Bank Holidays, but these two Museum weren't. So, it looks like we will have to wait until next year - when we shall visit Oxford again so we can explore the Pitt Rivers Museum once again, and the top floor which was closed this time, due to refurbishment. Also next time, we plan on visiting the Ashmolean Museum which was also completely closed for refurbishment. So next year, in the spring....we will hopefully visit again!

In the meantime, we decided to go up Carfax Tower, despite the weather being just overcast, admired the view of Oxford, and headed back home. Not before a visit to Waterstones however, as the Art Blackwells Bookstore was closed, and only the General and Music Blackwells was open (how THAT works,I have NO idea....!). Still, we bought a couple of books in Waterstones and it was a large store, and made our way back home.

I look forward to visiting Oxford again, as it is a VERY nice city, nicer than I had imagined actually, having never been there before. I would definately go again!
