Day 15 - Trip to Oxford


We pick up a car today from Heathrow airport which was really only bout 20 mins away on the bus.  We next had to pack for Oxford so needed to go to Linda's to go through our main bags and repack a few more clothes for this trip.   
 We had a quick cup of tea at Linda's, packed what we needed and set off about midday for Oxford.  It’s not very far away  at all and we made it there  about 1.30pm.  We had booked the Four Spires on Abeerden Road and it was two early to check in we just left our car there and caught the bus into town of oxford which was about 5 mins away.
We purchased on/off again bus tickets as this was going to be the quickest way to ensure we saw as much as we could in the time available.  We picked up some interesting facts on the way  such as....
There are over 100 libraries in London, largest library system in the UK - many of them are underground in storage areas.  It can often take up to 6 hours for a book to be borrowed. 
We did the circuit once and then caught the bus back to the Four Spires where we checked in and got ready to meet my Uncle Eddy for dinner.  We had planed to meet near Gloucester Green which is the major bus terminal in Oxford. 
We picked up nice Italian restaurant and caught up on whats happening with the family and Eddy told us some interesting bits about Oxford.  The night ended at about 10.00pm and we decided to meet again for breakfast the next morning
