Two years ago, we went to Oxford as a friend had just moved there and organized a house warming. We had a great time there, and decided to establish a new tradition for that, the Biennal Oxford BBQ, where we would come every other year to this famous city to share quality time with friends around a BBQ.
Things move fast, and this year we came back for a second and probably last time as she is moving to another wonderful city in Europe, which we will soon be visiting, of course.
The good thing of coming back to a place you know is that you can slow down during your stay. Walk slowly, and enjoy every piece of the city a bit more. I come from a few weeks getting up early, and this weekend was not an exception, so I went for a long walk along the Thames River and into an empty Oxford, where most of these pictures were taken.
In June I also went to Oxford, as it is relative close to London. It is a city living for and thanks to one of the most important universities in the world. It was pretty quiet as the students were on vacation, but still a very nice walk in a well-conserved city… especially if you end up eating Sunday Roast, thanks to the wise indications of our hosts. 🙂
Oxford is also very interesting for the Harry Potter’s fans, as one of its colleges, Christ Church, has some scenarios which appear in some of movies, like the dinner room or the courtyard.
Of course, it has a river, where the students can train for The Boat Race, the popular rowing race between Oxford and Cambridge. As I wrote a couple of line before, there were no students, and no one was training either, so one could take a ride in one of these small ships, like if you were in Venecia…
