WINDSOR – MARLOW – OXFORD
Despite our prebooked driver failing to arrive at our Paris hotel at 4:00am, we made it to the airport with the help of UBER. 2 minutes to get the UBER car and 22 minutes later we were at the airport.
Well the fine weather of the past 4 weeks left us for a day but overall it has been pretty good for the first week in the UK.
Our first night in England – Marlow near Windsor aboard this boat on The Thames – our AirBnB for the night.
Inside our AirBnB. Boat named ONION.
Our next AirBnB was is a beautiful farmhouse in Oxford of which the first section built in the 15th century. We stayed 4 nights here. Our hosts Mandy and Andrew were fantastic.
