Following my week traveling I spent a week in London with my girlfriend Jess. I met Jess in Grasmere and we decided to spend some time together after we each finished in Grasmere. As Jess had not spent a lot of time in London I got to be the tour guide and show her the sights. We visited Brick Lane, Abbey Road as well as Hyde Park among other sights. Hyde Park had been transferred into winter wonderland. A contrast from when I working there in the middle of summer. The pedal boats and deck chairs had been locked away and rides and Christmas stalls had been set up.
Jess then flew to Germany to visit a friend and I decided to get out of London. I spent a few days in Oxford, disappointingly though the students had all left for their Christmas break. I spent the week walking through the colleges I was allowed into and visiting the museums. I walked through the Ashmoleon museum, one of the oldest museums in the UK. Although the most interesting museum piece I thought was in a smaller museum which featured a chalkboard on which Albert Einstein had taught a class while teaching at the University. After spending a few days at the Uni I am pretty sure I couldn't study there. Not that I would ever have the opportunity.
After a few days in Oxford I headed back to London in time for another BUNAC trip this time to Bruges.
