Oxford...city of dreaming spires

As promised, here is my experience about Oxford City

Disclaimer:
The views expressed here are completely mine. Naaku nachina places andariki nachakapovachu...so, jus don't go by my opinion..ok na...

then..here it goes...

Oxford ante manaki andariki first gurtuku vachedi the world famous "Oxford University"...so, eppatinundo aa University ni choodalani undi...alanti places lo chadavalekapoyina, kaneesam choosi anandiddamani...so, anukokunda £4 ki train ticket online lo kanipinchesariki egiri gantesi book chesesukunnam ticket. andariki "U know...we got the ticket to Oxford for 4 pounds yaa" ani goppa ga cheppesukunnam.

ika aa velle roju raane vachindi...full ga ready ayyipoyi Train station ki vellam..(Technical details here...Oxford Train starts from Paddington, London). theera vellaka telisindi emitante...memu book chesukunna train jus appude vellipoyindi ani :(( and ee ticket open ticket kaadu( obviously, bcos it was under offer).so, we have to buy another ticket. ventane ticket office ki velli andaru evari pratapam vallu choopincham..aa counter vaadu "light theesuko..." ani chaala polite ga cheppadu. ika bayataki vachi idi nee thappu ante nee thappu ani andaram kottesukunnam. ika venakki thirigi vellipoddam anukunnam...kaani Lokulu "oxford vellara..choosara?" ani adigite emi cheppali? asale "Lokulu Kaakulu kada". so, ika chachinattu malla full price pay chesi ticket konukkuni train ekkagane andaram promise chesukunnam "ee vishayam ikkade marchipovali...evvariki cheppakoodadu" ani(naa blog lo nenu rasukotam andulo ki raadule).

ok...finally we arrived at Oxford. chaaaaaaala chali ga undi..first, Mc Donalds ki velli Breakfast thini then intelligent decission theesukuni we bought the Oxford Sightseeing Ticket ( I strongly recommend this http://www.citysightseeingoxford.com/ ) . This is an Audio guided tour (konni buses lo Guides kooda untaru..but aa busses frequency thakkuva). we got into the bus. ivi "Open Top Double Decker" buses. my recommedation is "chali ekkuva feel ayyevallu winter lo DAYA CHESI aa upper level lo koorchoddu...book ayipotaru ( personal experience)".

now..more serious things..being an ardent fan of HarryPotter, I was quite thrilled to find out that much of the filming of HarryPotter was done in Oxford.and also "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" was inspired from here. Its the very famous "Christ Church College, University of Oxford". Political Gaints like Bill Clinton, Tony Bliar are Oxford Students and it has the wonderful history of producing many more Governors and highly influential ppl. There r lot of colleges affiliated to Oxford that r spread across the city. and many of these colleges has magnificent Cathedrals...One has to see to appreciate it.

Then comes the fascinating Museums,

• Ashmolean Museum, this is the oldest Museums and it has extensive collections of art and antiquities(veera boring...)
• Museum of the History of Science,contains the world’s finest collection of historic scientific instruments(its interesting yaa...u will spend more time than u plan..so, plan well and go)
• Oxford University Museum of Natural History,houses the University's collections of zoological, entomological, palaeontological and mineral specimens (My Pick of the Day...this is jus amazing. Dinosours and Dodos, (Jurassic Park, The Lost World movies lo pettina Dinosour skeletons ikkada unnay) and many more.

I was quite surprised n thrilled to find out the significant contributions done in this city. The Famous Antibiotic, Penicillin was developed here. Famous Galileo( manamPhysics lo chaduvukunnam kada..Velocity blah blah) is from Oxford. Charles Darwin ( Evolution Theory) is from here and the list is endless.

It is a Day out of Education and Enlightenment.

Honestly speaking, one day is not sufficient to cover the whole place...2 days unte, I think it would be good ( bore kooda kottechemo ...)

ide mood lo oka free advise "Visit New Places whenever u get a chance"


"The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see."
