DAY SEVEN
Carolyn and I went to Oxford yesterday. It was the very start of our Britrail pass which let's us travel all around Britain by rail for the amount of time on the pass. We each got a 22 day pass so we have quite a bit of time to juice it for all it's worth.
We got up at 530am yesterday to try and catch the 645am train from London-Paddington to Oxford but when we got to the Tube it didn't open until 710am. So, we decided to just hang out until it opened and catch a later train. But when it finally did open we didn't get a train until 725am! o.O
Anyway, we finally caught a train from London-Paddington at 830am and arrived around 1130 or so. Oxford was very nice. It's quite small but that was good because we only had one day to look around. We basically walked the length of it 3 or 4 times. Didn't really do much particularly exciting. Just sort of wondered and hung out.
But I found out that STEPHEN FRY is doing a book signing in London on October 4th and Alex is going to be here too and we have to go. It's not even a question.
We had dinner at a small pub called the Turf Tavern...built in the 16th century! It was delicious. I had a chicken and mushroom pie with peas and chips and gravy oh and a pint. It was overly delicious. Mmmm.
DAY EIGHT
Got into Cambridge today. Had to go all the way back to London from Oxford and then go from London-Paddington to London-King's Cross. The Tube was a bit busy so that was a little difficult but we JUST made it.
Not feeling Cambridge so much. And felt a little lonely today. Maybe it's cause Jess isn't here. I miss Jess. Well, seeing her tomorrow when we go to see Hamlet at Stratford-Upon-Avon. With PATRICK STEWART AND DAVID TENANT!OH MY GOD.
Missing Rochellee and Wesley a lot today. :( Also Alex but she's going to be here in a few days.
And Wesley called me which made me feel much better.
GUYS! I want to know what's going on at home! E-mail me with any awesome news. I'll even settle for mundane news at this point.
Over and out!
Katie
