Day 2 evening at Oxford

For some reason there seemed to be a need to get back to Oxford by 4:30 or so, so we did another race across the moors. The bus dropped us in front of the hotel and our guide lined us up for a 'short walk of 10-15 minutes' to the Bodleian Library. Someone should really tell the Brits that American's view of a 15 minute walk is not the same as theirs. They really should say 'brisk walk' or 'power walk' or for some of us shorter older folk.. 'a jog'

                                                                             this was it!

She left us here to wander about a bit on our own and we did do another mosey around the streets of Oxford. It is a lovely old city and very interesting.




I don't know who these guys are -but they look pretty unhappy..

After walking around, we went back to hotel for dinner.  We were staying at the MalMaison 

This transformed former Victorian prison is now a stunning boutique hotel offering unique luxury in historic Oxford.

Our luggage was not delivered to the rooms as promised and we had to find it in the huge pile and drag it up the elevator and down some steps and thru the hall to finally get it to the room, but other than that it was good.

I didn't get an old prison cell for my room but one of the newer add on rooms.  However, it was still a cool place..
