After a few enjoyable days in London it was time to say farewell to our little room at the Tudor Court Hotel and move on to the next phase of our holiday. So after another great breakfast from the hotel, we packed our packed our bags and towed them up to Paddington Station to catch the 9.50 train to Oxford. Stopping only at Slough and Reading, we were there in under an hour.
First task on arrival was to walk around the corner to Avis to pick up our hire car for the next few days. Booked as a "Vauxhall Astra or similar", we were pleasantly surprised to be driving away in an Alfa Romeo Giulietta. After an impromptu tour around Oxford, we sent off for our intended destination of Radley where would were staying with Anita's cousin Diane.
After lunch, Diane took us on a guide tour of the village of Radley and the town of Abingdon. In Abingdon, we park the car and walked down to the Abingdon Lock on the Thames and back through the town itself.
