We spent the night in a hotel that occupies a row of five homes built in the Georgian style. It was too expensive for my tastes, so I talked mom into letting us skip their extravagant breakfast and eat breakfast at a sidewalk cafe. It was good to soak up the early morning sun while eating chicken and mushroom pie and eavesdropping on local conversations. We toured the Roman Baths and then explored the Bath Abbey. Archeologists have done a wonderful job in excavating and preserving the Roman remains.
After one last gaze at the Royal Crescent - and dreams of Jane Austin's heroines, we were ready to move on to Oxford. We strolled the grounds of Radley College - a private boarding school on extensive grounds. Public footpaths crisscross the property and we were surrounded by cricket matches and tennis games.
Three years ago, we had a wonderful family holiday on the Oxford canal system. We had docked near Radley to attend a wedding and eaten at the local pub. Clare and I had a lovely long walk along the Thames before dinner. She spoiled us by making a huge pavlova and coating it in thick English cream.
