Oxford

From the Castle, a day trip to Oxford is pretty simple: take the train to London, then hop on a bus to Oxford. Despite having had no problems taking the train to London several times before, we managed to end up in Brighton. Actually, when the train stopped we had no idea where we were. Yes, we went South-West instead of going North. Yes, we got lost in England. But, thanks to the great train system here, we were able to hop on a train up to London and make it without having our tickets checked. There was another slight hiccup when we tried to get on the wrong bus, but eventually we did get to Oxford. In the end, it was well worth the trouble. Oxford is a great little city and we had a really nice day wandering around, seeing some of the university, and stopping in at historic pubs and cafes. Highlights:
