Day Fifty-Four

Day Fifty-Four - May 8th, 2009

Oxford, England.

Today was our last day in Oxford, so we got up pretty early and made the best of it.

We took the bus downtown and walked around the botanical gardens for an hour or so. It was pretty remarkable, if not because of all the interesting plants, but because it was started in the 1600's. J.R.R. Tolkien spent a lot of time in these gardens and it even lays claim to holding his favourite tree (see above).

We left the gardens, did some shopping, and eventually went back to Mitch's house to make UK's version on Mac and Cheese, which ended up being more like Sidekicks than anything else. We also drank an ungodly amount of Irn Bruu. That stuff is going to be the death of us. Especially Elisha, she has probably consumed 4L since we arrived.

After saying our goodbyes we walked to the bus station to begin our long bus ride to Scotland.
