2015.08.06 – Oxford \u2013 Bristol (England)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We left our hotel around 9:30am. The Travelodge staffs were among the least friendly we encountered during our trip. We took the S3 bus to the train station and boarded our carriage earlier than expected. We needed to transfer and wait exceptionally for 40 mins at the Didcot Parkway station. Upon our arrival, we were directed by friendly tourist volunteer to our Travelodge hotel. Once more our booking was limited to two persons but given the hotel’s configuration, it was quite easy to go by freely. We left our bags at the hotel reception and headed out to explore the city center. We had lunch at a Pizza Express. Jenny really liked their thin crust pizza. We strolled along the very lively wharf area. Bristol seemed to be filled with young families. Shaun, the sheep, was on display everywhere across the city where long line-up of parents waited to have a picture taken of their kids with Shaun. We suspected that the Bristol Hot Air Balloon festival was attracting many families in town. We took a 45 mins cruise on the floating harbor and learned a bit about Bristol’s history. We headed back to the hotel for our check-in. As everyone seemed to be tired, we all took a nap for one or two hours. In the evening, we dropped by a nearby Chinese restaurant. Due to some ordering misunderstanding, we ended up with some extra complimentary BBQ duck. On our way back to the hotel, we stopped at Tesco for water and beer. Jenny did more clothes washing while I booked our train tickets to London.<\/p>\n\n\n
