Fri 13 March 2009: Honeymoon Day 7

It's a week since we left KK for our honeymoon and what a week it has been. We've been having quite an adventure in realising new places, food, things to do, absorbing the English history and culture and above all... having the best time with each other.

This morning we had breakfast again at our hotel as there are no shops around Castle Combe except for the little Inns that people are staying in.

Breakfast for me today was smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.

Fred had full English breakfast with scrambled eggs. I stopped him for a bit to take picture and this is the face I get in return!

Before we know it, it was time to leave Castle Combe today and move to Oxford. Here are just some of the pictures taken during our journey to Oxford.

We stopped by at a little town and visited their market. Nice local produce were for sale.

That's the little open market there behind me. Really little!

We bought these huge strawberries at the market to eat on our journey.

We went to Stratford on Avon to visit Shakespeare's birthplace. That's his house behind us. Again, no photography allowed inside so I'll scan the brochure's pictures instead when we get back home in KK.

We had a big lunch in town at Mistress Quicky Traditional English Eatery.

Cottage Pie for Fred

Steak & Ale pie for me

I really like how the houses here were built with a river flowing on their back garden.

There's even a boathouse parked here!

When we arrived at Newton's House (our hotel for our stay in Oxford) at around 4.00pm, I was feeling so tired and went to have a nap. Fred on the other hand decided to walk to the Information centre in town. I woke up as Fred returned from his walk... with a red nose! It's Comic Relief here in the UK and most people are helping to raise funds for the less fortunate by doing something funny and making donations. Their tag line is "Do something funny for money".

Dinner was simple tonight: McDonald's Chicken & Bacon burger
