Trip to Oxford



The boys made good use of public transport to get to Oxford today. They started off by catching a local bus from the hotel to the train station. Then two trains to Oxford, changing at Reading.

The weather was beautiful, sunny and breezy.

They were provided with a map of Oxford and a ticket for the hop on/hop off bus and set loose in the seat of learning!


At 3.00 we all met up in the University parks and a spontaneous game of touch rugby was started with an English group of boys (the latter were engaged because our team had forgotten their rugby ball and the English boys had one!)

With the entire group assembled, we walked through the colleges to the Head of the River pub on the banks of the river Thames, for dinner. Everyone had a splendid time chatting and looking out over the river.

British railways then took them back to Wokingham, where after a day of walking, they treated themselves to a taxi back to the hotel.
