Heading home today
Well. this is my last morning in Europe. After writing this, I grab my stuff and head to the airport to fly home. Its been a good trip and I have had fun, but honestly I’m looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
Yesterday, I hung around a bit then headed to the palace to see the changing of the guards. I got some decent pictures through the gaint crowd, but it took forever. Honestly, I got tired of it and gave up about 1/2 hour in.
After eating lunch, I took a train out to Oxford. The university/town of Oxford is beutiful. I happened to arrive on a tour day for prospective students, so everything was open and free. (Hey, good luck for a change.) I’ve got lot of great pictures. I loved the architechture. Elegant, but not over the top like so many I’ve seen.
Met two girls from a university in Jersey who I spent most of the afternoon with. We spent a lot of time walking through parks and gardens, which are scattered throughout the town.
After leaving them, I wandered down to some of the famous landmarks, but since it was after 5pm most were closed. Sorta by accident (I got a little lost) I ended up taking a 6 or so mile jaunt around the outscirts of town. My feet are still very sore this morning, but it was nice scenery.
On another topic, someone beside me just told me they found a bomb in downtown London a few minutes ago. Don’t know any details, but it was found in a station I travelled through on Wednesday. *glup*
