Oxford.....

We went to Oxford on Monday, the 19 of February. Took the train there, the place was really nice.

This is the Oxford train station.

We took a lot of photos of the town. This is just some of the photos we took. The buildings are nice right? Though it is old.

Ivy wanted Sherp to take the photo of herself so she pushed me away but it turned out that Sherp took the photo of all of us standing there. Muahaha... She didn't succeeded getting the photo for herself.
By the way, this was taken at the Christ Church area. The church is supposed to be on the left side of the photo.

This is the pathway into the Christ Church. (with the space) Not Chirstchurch in NZ. :)

The surrounding is very nice right? Hehee.. I have no idea why I kept on blinking.. maybe it was the contact lens.

This is the Christ Church. Finally after the photos of the pathway and the surroundings. Must be dying to see the Christ Church eh.. :)

Wee!!

Woke up at 8am and got ready for breakfast before we headed out to the tube station, Ealing Broadway. And guess what? We were stuck in the train for an hour, reaching Tate Modern about 11.30am. We walked from Waterloo Station, it was quite far. Mum was saying how come the road leading there doesn't look very nice. Yea, cos we walked 'behind' the Tate (it just means that we did not walk along the river, in front of the building, see the photo below).

Walking from 'behind'

Before going in, took a photo at the entrance, showing that we did go to Tate Modern.

The slide behind me.
There are slides from level 3, 4 and 5 but we didn't go on it. It was fully booked that day. So, we went on the second level slide. I thought it wasn't high enough. Hehe! I was even thinking of going for the level 5 slide. Obviously, when I went down the slide, I got this sudden feeling of being thrown from a high place so I think I went, 'Hu...' all the way down the slide. I couldn't stop laughing at myself after I reached the ground. It was funny to see me going 'Hu...' after all I am 19 already. I can hear Ivy going 'Ah....'. Sherlene said she was scared. Hahaha..

This is the Millenium Bridge in front of Tate Modern. We walked over the bridge to go to the nearest tube station, Mansion Station. And to think, we stopped in Waterloo Station which was quite far, I think. Sigh..

We went to Leicester Square for lunch. This is the London Chinatown. It is nice to see those Chinese New Year stuff around but we didn't hear any CNY music on. They should have those music on so you have the mood on. Hmm...

By the way, this is supposed to be on Friday, I did not change to UK timezone. It is NZ timezone. I think I would have to mention this every time.

Windsor

Saturday - My family and I decided to go to visit Windsor Castle since we kids haven't been there before. We took the train, First Great Eastern from Ealing Broadway. Stopped in Slough to change platforms/trains to go to Windsor. It was cheaper to take the train compared to taking the bus, Green Line, where the starting point is from Victoria Station in Central London. That means that we have to take the tube (from Ealing Broadway) to the station and then, taking the bus from the station (Victoria Station) to Windsor.

Anyway, after arriving Windsor, we went straight to the castle.

The photo of the castle. This photo shows the Queen Mary's dollhouse exhibition castle.

The Windsor town centre. Isn't it pretty? :)

We took this plane photo while walking around.

Were sitting at the bench, resting and quenching our thirst when we heard planes flew nearby. I was questioning, why were there so many planes, when Sherp thought to count the interval between each plane. I think it was approximately 40-50 seconds. Heathrow Airport is really busy then. I read somewhere that Chicago Airport (I read this a long time ago) is also really a busy aiport, there's plane coming in and out every 37 seconds.
I got to a point when I said I should look what airlines were those planes. I saw Qantas. Some, I can't see clearly. It's just too far and it was the sunny weather that makes my vision blurry. Hehe.. now I am blaming the weather...
Sherp got annoyed to a point when I was supposed to take photo of her, I looked up to the sky to see what airline was the plane. Hehe.. *cheeky grin

This is just showing our feet, which is a bit crazy but who cares.. Sherp suggested taking this. Funny eh.. why take feet photo.... :)
