Exploring Oxford

Despite the lack of train service, we were determined not to let that affect our holiday plans. Thanks to the wonderful world of internet, we found an alternative, but longer way to get to Oxford.
So, we boarded a bus and headed out to Victoria Coach Station to take the Oxford Express bus to Oxford. The journey went fairly smoothly and we managed to get there after more than one hour on the bus.
The town is quite bustling, really quaint and nice. The weather remained cold and we walked and enjoyed the scenery. We highly recommend a visit if you have never been to Oxford. It is quite full of history. We even chanced upon a place which used to house prisoners, but is now a hotel.
We went to Christchurch Cathedral. It was beautiful. The sun sets early and cast dark gloomy images around, but I find it very beautiful, got a soulful feel to it. I believe it is the place for the inspiration of some Harry Porter scenes.
We took the 515pm bus back to London and went to check out the freemason temple in the hotel. It is quite amazing. Our hotel is so new, and yet nested in the inside is an old grand temple!
It was another fruitful fun day in London despite the cold.
