Settle into life in England with our pre-trip extension in Oxford, the “city of dreaming spires.” Saunter around the university colleges, take a look around the world-famous Bodleian Library, and enjoy a sip of Old Rosie at the Turf Tavern, one of Oxford’s oldest pubs.  If you have time after all this, take to the water on a punt (a flat-bottomed wooden boat) and travel the short distance from Magdalen Bridge along Christ Church Meadows.
