To punt or not to punt....

Danielle raved about the punting experience she had here, a couple of months ago... so we decided we'd relive it, in style. You see, you have a choice with punting, there is the DIY punting which may result with you slamming into bridges, going for a swim or simply never finding your way back.... then, there's the deluxe experience, complete with chauffeur (in our case a young chap named Jack), a bottle of bubbly (rather sweet) and strawberries... and of course, since we are in England, we added a dash of rain....

Behind me, you can see Magdalene College. It must be the only college in Oxford with its own deer park... I kid you not!

Today has been an absolutely awesome experience. Walking through this town and just seeing , all first hand is amazing. This whole place is dripping with history and old money. Danielle has been a great tour guide and I am most envious of her. The Said Business school where she studies is stunning, the facilities, the lecture theatres and the whole feel of the place really makes you want to learn. We strolled around the various college grounds, I have never seen anything like it before.... manicured lawns, inspiring architecture, the whole place has just an amazing sense of history.

Tomorrow I head back to Paris. Oxford has been great, but I dont know if I could deal with the weather. It fluctuates all day long. Right now it's sunny yet five minute ago there was a thunder storm. Go figure....
