The first of our 2 days as tourists in Oxford. Even in February the city is rammed with trippers from every nation. The visitor moorings here on the canal are also filling up! The architecture of the city is lovely. We particularly liked the Cathedral, Christ Church College and the Bodleian library. Robin went up the Carfax tower, but Jo lost her nerve at the last minute! The Ashmolean Museum and Balliol College are on the itinerary tomorrow.

In the morning, Robin walked Scooby and found the Thames flooded across a great swathe of meadow.
 |
| This bit doesn't look too bad.... |
 |
| However just a bit further upstream.... |
The river goes round to the left, although it's impossible to see the channel. You can see why it's closed for navigation. The narrow boats on the right are moored to a narrow wooden pontoon which is surrounded by water!
In the evening we walked there again and the glorious blue sky was replaced by a fabulous sunset.
