We have decided to remain in Oxford for another couple of
days, leaving on Thursday to join the Thames and head towards Abingdon. Have to
say that I quite like Oxford as it is a very cycle friendly city with cycle
paths and lanes everywhere. Went from the city centre towards the John
Radcliffe Hospital to book a blood donor session (tomorrow, 3.10pm) and it
seemed very strange to pass from the city centre, through Merton college fields
and then into a country field containing a herd of cows, within a mile of the
city centre!
Will do the touristy things tomorrow in Oxford, up a church
tower for an overview of Oxford, round the Bodleyan Library etc. One further
point of interest today was a hot air balloon passing directly above the boat
as it travelled over Oxford, except for the fact that I have a poor head for
heights it must be an amazing way to see Oxford.
