Aussie friends in Oxford

On Thursday Chenoa and Pepina and Ben and Zoe came. We had lunch with them then we went for a walk in town. For dinner we went to a pub called the 'Fishes' and to get there you have to walk through some beautiful woodland at the back of the field. 

The next day we went to do some sightseeing and saw the Bodleian library and Baliol college again. While we were there we also went to the world famous bookshop, Blackwells, and bought some good books. After the bookshop we found a museum called the 'Ashmolean'. It had a whole floor about ancient Egypt. All of the kids did an activity sheet where you had to find out things about the exhibit. We said goodbye to the Clarkes and had pizza, pasta and ice cream for dinner. We all stayed up really late reading!
