Cotswolds and Oxford day trip




We took the Original London Walks guided tour to the Cotswolds and Oxford and really enjoyed it. Walked to Paddington Station where we met the group of 23 others plus the guide Richard at 9:30 a.m.. We took the train to Oxford then a coach (bus) into the cotswold countryside to a couple of very quaint villages. The guide was great - logs of arcane information and British history refreshers for his predominately American audience. I've got what I hope are great pictures...then we drove back to Oxford and toured the University - didn't, of course, see all 38 colleges, but we saw a lot. About 5 pm we got back on the train and back to London. Mitch and I went out for fish and chips to what used to be a simple restaurant but is now quite polished. Food was very good, just not as cheap as the chippie down the street (chippies have given way to fast food chairns so there may not be a chippie down the street)
