My Travel Adventures

Oxford is beautiful in May . The trees  in the parks are all covered in vibrantly green leaves, as of yet untouched by disease and the voracity of insects. So many flowers have bloomed at University Parks, that I can hardly keep track of their names. I have made many walks during the past few weeks, some along the canal, some to Christ Church Meadow, and others still to University Parks.

The first day trip on which I took my friend was a visit to Bath and Bristol. We arrived in Bath at the sensible hour of nine o’clock, which – come to think of it – happens to explain the absurd amount of money we paid for the train tickets there. I had reserved tickets to the Roman Baths for 10:15, so we spent a little over an hour simply wandering about the awakening town. Just like every proper spa town, it was bustling with retirees. What is remarkable about Bath is its unified appearance: practically every building in the centre is built of Bath stone, a sandy coloured type of limestone, and has the same grey roof.
