In Oxford, we visited one of the most traditional colleges, Christ Church, ...


...where we accidentally found more locations of the Harry Potter films. Quote Viki "Hey, those stairs look like the stairs in Hogwarts." My answer "Yeah, but virtually everything in England looks like it could be a Potter location."

Found out that she was right, so we waited until the dining hall was cleared after the students' lunch, so we could visit Hogwart's Great Hall.


In a way we felt like humans from a lower class because quite a lot of the premises were off limits to visitors, which is understandable, but annoying nonetheless. But then, I wouldn't want to have tourist roaming Mainz university. Not, that there was anything interesting to see, but I think you'll get my drift ;)


After hanging about the campus for what was probably an hour and a half (because we had to wait for the Hall to be cleared), we went into a historic pub where we tried to be very British: we took advantage of an offer (two meals for GBP10), ordered fish'n'chips (with mashed peas which looked worse than they actually tasted), and I even had a pint in the middle of the day.


After our tasty lunch, we went up to one of the church rooftops to enjoy the view from above. The staircases were nothing for people with severe claustrophobia, but fortunately none of us suffers from that condition *cough*. The view was well worth it, though.




Viki, thanks a lot for the visit. It was brilliant having you here :)

Have I ever told you that I once had dinner in the Great Hall of Christ Church College? I sat in front of the portait of John Locke! We did not have mashed peas!!!

Aller guten Dinge sind drei. Jedenfalls in KH:
