I spent the whole day in Oxford with good old Colby! I was quite excited to see the town especially because it was where the real Alice in Wonderland was from! We went to Lewis Carroll’s Old Sheep Shop and bought some little Alice trinkets including my favorite, a gold chocolate coin that reads “EAT ME!”
We toured the Bodleian Library as well as Christ Church College. Both were sites where they filmed some of Harry Potter which Adrienne was quite thrilled about! In the dining hall at the college one of the Stain Glass windows had Alice and the other character from Wonderland in it! There was also a painting of Charles Ludwidge Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll. Now I thought Durham was a crazy place to go to college but Oxford was an even more extreme case and we saw student around. It would just be so wild to be living and having classes in these buildings!
I got to see Colby’s “flat” which was very cute and she fed me which is always nice. I also ate some delic mango ice cream from G & D Oxford’s Own Ice Cream Shop which was conveniently right across from Christ Church College and a few shops down from the sheep shop.

That totally is where they filmed Harry Potter...I kind of like that it's an actual place, as opposed to some set/CGI combo. You're just taking in all the sights, aren't you?
Did you not visit the Bodleian Library when you were in Oxford?!?!? If the answer is yes, then I have proven to be cooler than you! HA They said it was used as the ballroom and the infirmary in the movie!
