Had a great dinner at Bangkok House, delicious before we moved to next hotel.

Bath Place
Andrew the boat renter,  was nice enough to drive us to Bath Place, although Kirk still tried to get into the drive side. I really do not think I have the stomach to have Kirk drive. 

As you enter Bath Place alley , it is in a place where the walls recede as you enter then close up behind you, did I say narrow, that does not even begin to describe it, more like something out of Harry Potter. And I thought our house is uneven, out of sorts, off kilter uneven..... There is nothing square, level, straight in the place, very quaint?  The rooms are off to the side of the alley as you approach the main entrance. Our room is like going up stairs that would make the  Weasley's house look normal, twisty, no headroom, (there was more head room in the boat) and very narrow. Not one stair is level. We went up two flights, ducked our heads, and into our room. The greatest thing was a view a New College Bell Tower, and a full size bath tub, king size bed, luxury at last, whilst to keep tipping your head to try and straighten it all up and not hit a rafter. Not a chance! 

Ordering at a Pub is trickery too, you go to the bar make a order, pay for it or run a tab, then they deliver to your table. If you just sit at the table no one waits on you. You can get awful hungry! Also i do not think you tip, although I do. 

The rooms are situated above  one of the oldest taverns in Oxford called the Turf Tavern, they party all night and day seems like. Out the window of my hotel room you can see the beer garden. Had dinner their last night, you enter and go from outside beer garden to low ceiling, ancient stone wall rooms to open air beer garden, very dungeon like midevil look. As we left through other entrance, you follow tight passage ways round and end up at the Bridge of Sighs.  So our  hotel backs up to the bridge.

Oxford University is made up of a bunch of colleges, Christ Church, Magdalene, New, Merton....this is where most the students live, have assigned tutors, and take some classes, then I have seen physics building, business school, science building, all of these are interspersed throughout the city, intermixed with libraries, museums, stores, hotels, bus and train station, canals, cafe houses.....I think there is a main campus but for the most part Oxford is both city and University. 

The Ashmolean Museum was fantastic, the order of things was a lot different as in most museums. It is ordered with as things evolve from all,over the world in ordered together, very interesting. Also some great impressionist art. 

FYI there user sign on network for Oxford University is the OWL network!
