Set off at around 9 this morning, after a much better nights sleep. I really fancied a sausage or bacon butty for breakfast, but owing to us not having either in stock and me not being able to face any more granola, I settled for just coffee. A beautiful morning and a complete contrast to yesterday afternoon as we only saw 3 moving boats on the cruise from Thrupp to Oxford. Nothing really of note to report, other than we filled with water at the slowest tap in the world, still we were able to make coffee while we were filling. We arrived to our pick of moorings above Isis Lock in Oxford just before 12.
Looking towards Isis Lock:
After emptying the fridge of potential candidates for lunch, we set off for a walk, firstly along one of the Thames streams to Christchurch Meadows via Folly Bridge, then into the City proper.

Christchurch College:
There really is some stunning architecture in Oxford, 99% is college related.
We picked up a few essential provisions, including a stunning looking pork pie from the market, paid our regular visit to the fudge shop, managing to restrain ourselves to just 2 slices this time. They were in the process of making a new batch, watched it being poured onto the slab to cool.
We passed the theatre, Penny bought 2 tickets for the Jersey Boys which is opening tomorrow night, we checked out the cinema, were off to see Spooks tonight, followed by a meal out! Well, we are on holiday.
El miercoles, iremos al Tamesis. Pasaremos cinco dias en el Tamesis, dirigiremos a Shepperton.
