Oxford Photos 3/05/06
Taking it easy while punting down the Isis (the name they give to the Thames in Oxford). Chad is at the helm.Then after lunch...
Mike (Spoony) lets the beer soak in while I struggle with the pole. I'm telling you, I'll need more alcohol next time. One wine spritzer does not an expert puntswoman make.
After punting...
While the others are at the pub, I head off on a typical library-nerd hunt for the Bodleian. After much confusion, I photograph the building I was told was the Library (above)...
...and the building I thought was the Library (left).Turns out they both are (thanks to the chatty woman on the train from Victoria to Clapham Junction who cleared up the mystery that no-one in Oxford could). Apparently there's a third (modern and probably not pretty) building that is also part of the Library, and there are tunnels underneath.
Will have to go back for the tour!
Pretty, aren't they?

Hey Nomes,
Good to see you're having fun.
I giggled all the way through your 'punting' entry. Especially the bit about your 'punting pole'.
Punting is a funny word.
I hope you're getting adjusted, the first couple of months living in London are always a bit full-on.

Hiya, great to see you looking so happy.
So glad you went a-punting...Cam knew exactly what punting was. More touristy stuff, please, the fam are hanging out for more postcards! Stay warm, knew I should have talked you into that windstopper fleece when we were out!
Keep the happy snaps coming, love the blog, miss you.
