Wow, first time travelling by myself! I like it! I get to set my own pace, I can eat anytime I want to and I don't have to worry about getting lost, got my handy GPRS with me this time, hehe.
My trip took only an hour and half from Birmingham to Oxford. This time, my trip costs me 20 pounds, but it's worth it. Oxford is a pretty quiet place, and what I noticed when I reached here is that nearly everyone rides a bicycle here. Well, not surprising, nearly 80% of Oxford are just universities and colleges. Nearly everyone is a student here!
Once I reached Oxford, I went looking for the tourist centre so I could booked my tour. The tour deal was pretty good, it's 2 hours and the tour guide could bring us into at least 1 of the unis. Awesome!
So, the tour starts at 2pm, and what I noticed is that the buildings has sculptures on them. Very gothic!
I noticed the heads on the wall when I first arrived. Scary!
Our tour starts of in Broad Street. Apparently that is the road where executions are usually done. Eeek!
The Bridge of Sighs (basically a building which connects to another -.-)

Oh another thing, Oxford is also known for movie sites for Harry Potter and the Golden Compass. Here, is a movie site for Harry Potter, and also one of the oldest standing walls in Oxford. 
I love how there are words on the steps :)

It's known for Harry Potter site, the Golden Compass site and the story "Alice in Wonderland". I didn't know this, but the author, Lewis Carroll is actually a man called Charles Dodgson. And get this, Alice in Alice in Wonderland.. is a real girl! Alice is the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church.

Christ Church is actually a uni, so the dining room was still being used as a dining hall and the picture above is where they stayed
A movie site for the Golden Compass. Guess what scene is this?
the Great Tom. Every night, it rings 101 times because during the olden times, the college has 101 students and it rings to remind students to come back before 9pm
the library. If you look closer, the ceiling inside is spectacular!
A uni which J R R Tolkien once taught in. He's a professor did you know that?Had an awesome time in Oxford! Where to next?
