Oxford, England

We are now back in London after our tour of the continent. We left Strasbourg on the TGV train bound for Lille. From Lille we took the Eurostar back to London St Pancras station. It was late when we arrived back in London and we didn't have any room reservation. We already wore out the welcome mat at my aunt's house in North London. There are cheap rooms at little motels across the street frrom St Pancras. We found one and settled in. We bought an oyster card for the public transportation and after putting away our luggage headed for Soho to have dinner at London's Chinatown.
The next day and our last day, we went early in the morning to Victoria station to book a tour on one of the bus tour companies. I wanted to go to the Cotswold but ended up going to Oxford. I've always used Evan Evans but they don't go to the Cotswolds anymore. The next time I will use another tour company, one that do go  the Cotswolds. Or maybe not, I've been to the Cotswolds before. This was my second trip to Oxford. We found our bus and with another 20 people went to Oxford and Stratford upon Avon and Warwick castle.
Here we are following our tour guide around Oxford. This was a day long tour. It was a nice change after being our own tour guides the past 2 weeks. Now we're being driven around.
