Oxford. St Johns

This is the main entance to St Johns College Oxford.The oldest buildings were built in 1437. Thats 674 years old.

The dinning hall where the undergraduates sit in the main hall and the senior common room is at high table. The potraits are of the college presidents - they ran the college year after year. I went to afternoon tea in the senior common room: there was tea and coffee, cakes and sandwiches.

This is the old libary with very old books. Some of they date back 400 years   . The old books were facinating but we could not touch them becuase they might break. There were two large globes. One of the stars. The other was of earth but only half of Australia on it because the other half had not been discovered when it was made.

Oxford - Sheldonian, Divinity school, Christchurch cathedral, "the Bear" Inn

 The Sheldonian Theatre is where they give out the degrees in Oxford university. It is built in the style of a Roman theatre. On the inside3 of the done there is a picture with angels and the gorgon falling out.     We climbed to the dome. I took pictures of Oxford. 

 

This is the School of Divinity. It was one of the first building built as a lecture room for the university. In Harry Potter the infirmary and the ball were filmed here.

New fountain to show praise to God

This is Christchurch College and cathedral. We saw the Tomb of Saint Frideswild who founded Oxford.

Carves choir stalls

To honour that the Wesley preached here 

The Bishop who argued with Huxley over evolution.

The door where they filmed Alice in Wonderland

The Easter Garden to show new life.

We had lunch in the Bear Pub. The pub has been here since the 13 Century. The ceiling in very low.

    

Gatwick airport, London to Oxford

We stopped in Gatwick airport, London. Mum and Dad had an extra LARGE Coffee. We then took a bus to Oxford. The farms are smaller than the Australian ones. The rooves are all pointy and not flat like some in Australia. can you guess why? Because it snows

.

We stopped at the last bus stop and waited for John, Sophia, Samuel and Juli. We walked to St John's College which I sleep at. There are lots of lions, gargoyles and angel heads on the walls.

Dubai

 Note Black writng by Lucy, blue by Deborah.

Sorry this photo is on the side - traditional wind vents

In Dubai we stayed in a very neat hotel. (The Arabian Coutyard Hotel ) The city has sandstornms every month. Dubai is in the middle of the desert. It is very HOT in Dubai. We went the near by shops with a quilting friend of Mum's Kathy.


The shopping area was actually the fabric Souk a traditional shopping areas in the centre of Dubai. The sellection od fabrics was amazing.

I was so bored with the shops that I nearly fell asleep. We then went down to the river and saw lots and lots of boats. There were cargo ships,Tourism ships,Taxi boats and even boats that people live in.

There were lots and lots of funny shaped buildings with satelites of the roof. We then left to go to London where mum used to live.

Melbourne

On Thursday, we drove to Melbourne, where we stayed at Cilums Motel near the Airport.

On Friday we bought a camera for me. For Dinner we went to a greek resturant and had fish cooked with eyes, a dish of meat andsome bread. We left at midmightand arrived in dubai at 20.49 on the 29/4/2001.
