Oxford

We set out to Oxford yesterday for a day trip. I absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful campus. 










I really liked the town, I could definitely see myself here. 



We took a nice stroll around the Oxford Botanical Gardens. So pretty!


















And I creeped into other people's pictures. 







And took super artsy pictures on the train. 


Then some very non artsy pictures. 




Story of the day: We snuck into Oxford to see the dining hall from the Harry Potter movies. We didn't want to pay the entrance fee, so instead, we pulled a James Bond and snuck in. It was dinner time and we tried to blend in with all the students, it was awesome. Taylor was the super sneaky one and took a quick pic.


Then we got out of there real quick. 

We were in Cambridge today for the day, I'll put the pictures up soon!

Shopping in London= TIRED

Natali and I spent the day shopping in London today. I'm currently dead on the couch, and I'm about 99% positive Natali is currently passed out in my bed upstairs. Shopping in London is no easy task, let me tell you. Tourist season is in bloom, boo. Which means severe case of shoving and fighting for items in the stores. Slight exaggeration. After encountering some very bipolar weather, we finally gave up with the rain/sunshine fits and just hopped on a double decker and rode around the city. But our sleepiness got the best of us, and we had to make it back home. 

I came home to a pretty hilarious letter tho, let me quote:
We have a few questions for you.
1. Jedi or Sith?
2. Would you rather be punched in the face by a gorilla or kicked in the stomach by a kangaroo?
3. Who would win in a fight, taco or a grilled cheese sandwich? 

My goodness, I laughed hard. Really hard.

We're off to Oxford tomorrow for the day! It should be a fun day, I'm gonna try my best and put my smart student look on, hopefully I can fit in at Oxford, yikes. 

And Paris next week, so pumped!

Greece: Part Two

We spent the next four days in Santorini, riding our Mio scooter all over the island. It was amazing. We managed to drive through the entire island, see some beautiful sights, and find the best gyros all over the island. 


We spent our first full day in Santorini driving around the island and getting to know all the roads. We drove around finding some really nice beaches. 







Red Beach. It has red sand, legit.








Took a drive to the lighthouse on the island.




Ammoudi Bay, we came back several times. So pretty.













We watched our first Greek sunset that night, we drove off the road and found a nice spot to watch.


We went to the Ancient Thira ruins at the top, it was a great view! Although it was slightly miserable up there, it was hot. Really hot.



The next day, we spent the day driving through the Wine Roads and stopping at all the pretty scenery.

















My driver for the week. Serious business. 


We made several trips to Oia, the buildings there are beautiful!
























We spent our last night in Oia watching the best view of the sunset. It was legit. 







We took one last drive in our scooter to Perissa and enjoyed the sunset as we drove.


The nexat day our ferry was delayed by 3 hours, so we spent a ton of time at the port. We had a buddy come hang out with us and eat our food. Don't let that face fool you, that cat was evil. It gave me a bad clawing because I wouldn't let him sit on my lap.





After our long ferry ride, we were back in Athens for another day. We did some last minute shopping and enjoyed our last Greek meal.


By far one of the best weeks I've spent.
