Oxford, day 3


Our last day together... it felt very weird. We both were kinda tired, but we decided to go find some new bed linen for the place Ron is staying now. His mother had suggested to get us some old-fashioned bed sheets. Challenge accepted! ;)
Later in the evening we went to a very nice pub called The white rabbit where we had our last meal together. We also drank Guinness and a beer called Oxford student beer (I think?)
I had to catch my bus at 01:00. It was a very quiet evening, very hard for both of us. When it was time to go to the bus station, I thought I'd never felt worse. It's hard, leaving the one you love behind. But at least he has a house to stay, and I think he will have a great time in the labs of Oxford University! :)
I already got tickets to visit him at the end of the month (couldn't wait any longer) so now I just have to wait 25 days until I see him again )

Oxford, day 2


On our second day, it was time to get to know Oxford better... and how nice, we ran into a Bubble tea shop! I think Ron will spend lots of time there while studying ;)
Ron had decided to take the room we had viewed yesterday, so we went to get the keys. Afterwards we had sushi, yummy! 

Oxford, day 1


Hello there,
Finally I found the time to update my blog. So much has been going on - preparing for my Master, a lot of working - but today I found some time to work on this blog! :)
Our first day in Oxford was lovely. We didn't get much sleep - we were on our way to the airport at 04:00. When we arrived at London Luton, we took the bus to Oxford. A very long drive, I think it was about 2,5 hours. At Oxford, we were immediately charmed by the old houses. We went to a little café to look for a place to stay on the internet. First hit was a lovely guest house at 59F Lake street - and it was so nice! We had a studio with our own kitchen and bathroom. Our hosts immediately offered us tea (how English!) Furthermore, we did some grocery shopping and Ron was busy trying to get a viewing. We didn't know yet that it would be very easy to find him a nice student apartment... We actually had our first viewing that day!
