Saturday 8 November - Since we had the car for the weekend, Ian and I decided to take a trip to Oxford. We actually parked outside the city and took the bus in as it is difficult to drive directly into/around the city. It was a lovely, warm and sunny day and we wandered around as we pleased. There are lots of old stone building and stone streets. Because it is a university town there are also many museums. We visited the Museum of science and the natural History museum. The natural History museum was amazing, it had skeletons of a wide range of animals including elephants, a polar bear, a giraffe, as well as dinosaur skeletons. There were also many stuffed animals and creatures in specimen jars. There were also displays on minerals and fossils. While in Oxford we had a nice lunch at the Newshop restaurant and visited the Bodleian library. There were lots of nice shops and quaint streets. We stayed until a little after five, at which time it was quite dark then made our way back to Bristol.
