U.K - Oxford (May 2014)

Oxford was our first stop after we landed at London (Gatwick Airport). Collected our rental car from Hertz, and after the initial unease in driving a manual car after so long, we cruised off (albeit a bit jerkily) to Oxford. 

It was a rather brief stopover at Oxford - just for lunch, a walk along their main streets, and a tour around the colleges before going to Stratford-upon-Avon.

Attractions

Footprints Tours
We originally wanted to go for the Footprints Tours, but didn't manage to make it. The bicycle here was the meeting point for the tour at specific hours of the day. So we settled for Oxford Walking Tours instead, which cost us £10 (S$21.00) each. The tour was focused on the various colleges of Oxford University.
