London - Oxford - Ye Olde Village
May 7, 2008 7:24 am [Live] from somewhere elseDLR
This morning wife and I made a dash across London to go on the DLR (Docklands Light Railway). It’s cool, super frequent trains to a range of places, and best of all the trains are fully automated. No driver!
Then it was back to the Hotel to meet the olds. We drove to Oxford where we spent some time sorting out hire cars, for some reason we ended up with 2 cars instead of one. But we are hopefuly changing back to just one in the next couple of days.
Here is the one that my parents got for me and jenny.
It has a sun roof, in case you thought we must have got out my pocket knife and made a hole in th roof for a good photo op.
Village
Now we are in some village, it’s small and english like. I had steak for dinner, cows taste different in England, must be the mad cow disease.

Please advise name and web address of car hire firm, who has the 2 for 1 scheme. I like your photos and note that Madam Tussaud’s personalities changed since 1948 when instead of film stars notable murderers and Kings were exhibited.

even in 2002 notable murderers were exhibited, like jack the ripper. alas, no more.
there were a few kings and queens still though.
