West Exmoor: walking through Old Harry Rocks, the beach, the railway and the village

We pick up the car at 8:30
and it took 2 hours to join Exmoor Park.



We walked...


The barriers marks the boundary 
of a cricket field.


Wiiiiiiiinnnnddddd !!!!


and cliffs, and ocean and fresh air !!!!!!!


Finaly: Bruyère !!


Huge panoramas...


Amané has vertigo.......!!!!


Feel so peacefull in those places !




Amané stays closed to the "walls":
she had a really strong vertigo.


but she can smile


and took pictures of her daddy walking



Fences, because of the wild goats
but we didn't see any


Changing athmosphere:
mossy wood !




and not so far: the ocean


reaching the beach


here we are


amané did some ricochets



and we took the railway to bring us 
back to the village...poor Amané with vertigo !!



But she found a nice shirt in this shop.
We'll see a lot during our travel.

An other nice one !


We stopped in St Nicholas market
to enjoy a tasty burger



Walking again:

an other Banksy




It's not a church:
it's the public library...


It was sunday
but full of people enjoying sun and foods and drinks 
along the quays.

Oxford

Woke up at 6 am
to have a snack at Paddington station




The train will take us to Oxford



Changing athmosphere:
old yellow stones and walls


It's so sunny !


Radcliff camera from 1714
one of the oldest library in Europe:
books are under our feet


Around Radcliff,
Amané likes this athmosphere



of course, the door opening
to the old old library with all her treasures


Bridge of sights
like in venice but not so old...1914 !!




our guide !


Coming in Magdalen college (1458)


10 Nobel Prizes are from this little university


room of songs....!!!


The church...!!!





The self.....!!!!!


The "foyer"...!!!!
I sent a message to my colleagues:
I dismissed until our self and our foyer
don't look the same....!!!


This girl wants to study here??





The meadows !


At one bottom of the park:


at the other bottom



After Magdalen college
we walked away from the city center:
no students, and a subburb like every where else...



We then tried to go to Christ Church:
no more meadows...
all yellow....
 


and so many many tourists...


Let's go to an other university
even smaller, we don't care


We were lucky:
we could enter in an oter one


behind old doors


old churches


and old self...


In the city center
an old hats shop
full of tourists


Then we walked to a huge park
and had diner near our hotel.
