Today was filled with traveling. We left the hotel at 8 and headed to Oxford. Oxford was really interesting, and is an extremely old college. Our tour guide took us all over the university but we had to be quiet because the students were taking there exams. He showed us areas that were filmed in Harry Potter and where they got the idea for the great hall. We also saw images from C.S. Lewis's Lion, Which, and the Wardrobe. Such as the lamp post and Mr. Thomas. A lot of Oxford revolved around the story of Alice and Wonderland. Throughout the town and the university were things that Alice actually saw. This inspired the book by Lewis Carol. 
After that we saw Shakespeare's birthplace in Strafford-Upon-Avon. I did not get and pictures but I did get some good fish and chips. We then left and headed for Warwick castle which was a lot of fun. It was kind of like a medieval times in an actual castle. We first went down into the dungeons. It was really dark and you could still see the scratch marks on the walls. They also had some of the devices they used to detain criminals. Danny, Steph, Dana, and I went and climbed the castle walls. It was really cool but I'm not a big fan if being that high up. Once we got down we saw some of the birds they used for bird shows. 
When we got back to the hotel we decided to go to the London Eye below are some if the pictures I took.
We finished there and got some food at a Mediterranean restaurant; it was really good. Tomorrow we go to parliament which should be pretty good!!!!!!
