saturday was trip-day: i went to oxford with ellen and svenja. it took us about 2 and a half hours to get to oxford, but it was worth it. oxford is a nice town with countless old buildings and many, many bicyclists :) we looked at an old church and climbed onto its tower, we had a walk through the botanical garden (and a longer stop in the glass houses of the botanical garden, it was nicely warm in there, whereas outside it was freezing), and looked at one of the colleges. the college we looked at was the christ church college, which is famous for a big hall which was the inspiration for j.k. rowling's big hall in the harry potter books. in the college's church, we walked into a choir practice - it was quite funny.
