...to London! Loved being able to stop in @the_eagle_and_child to sit in the pub where the Inklings (CS Lewis, Tolkien and others) met in Oxford. Or apparently as they called it the "bird and baby"! #aclearingintheforest #cslewis #oxford #eagleandchild (at The Eagle and Child)

Day 4—Wednesday: Day 4 was another day trip out of the city. Originally we had planned to take a train to Salisbury, and see the cathedral, Stonehenge and Old Sarum, but we opted for Oxford instead because it was closer and less expensive overall. We didn't really have an agenda aside from wandering and exploring, so it was really laid back; a nice change of pace from the previous few days. We started out at The Eagle and Child, a pub known for being a favorite haunt of writers, including J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Unfortunately, cool literary cred = very touristy, and the food was bland and overpriced. From there, we hit a few museum. First, the Ashmolean and then the History of Science Museum. I really wanted to visit Christ Church College, so we made that our final stop. Unfortunately the Great Hall, famous for playing the part of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies, was closed for renovation. However, the cathedral was absolutely gorgeous and the grounds were beautiful, so it wasn't a wasted trip at all. It had been a little dark and rainy all day in Oxford so I was pleasantly surprised to arrive back to a sunny London. We took advantage of the beautiful late afternoon/early evening light to take a ride on the London Eye, where I tried (and failed) to Periscope. Afterward, I was exhausted so we picked up a takeaway and called it a day. — Jacqui
