We took the train to Oxford from Paddington station. The train ride is not too long and the train is comfortable. I slept all the way.....
We took a walk from the station to the University. This city is
different from London. There's less traffic, people cycling.
We walked to Adam's College, Exeter. It's very different from
universities in Israel... :-)
Did you know that many famous people studied in Oxford?
Bill Clinton, Rowan Atkinson (one of my favourite actors) and more.
There's a museum about the city and the university in the city

When we finished punting we made our way to Adam's house and it

city center, to do some shopping.
In our way we saw a nice little shop dedicated to the Alice books of
Lewis Carol. We entered (a good way to escape from the rain too)
and looked around. I couldn't help myself and bought two postcards to
remind me of this cute little shop. Here's one:
