When Alice did Paris: La Tour Eiffel and river tour.

Hello everyone, 

Now I know I went to Paris way back in October, but I don't want to not share a few images with you! 

We visited the Eiffel Tower, clearly a very touristy choice, but me and my sister both wanted to go up. It is actually smaller than I though it would be, it looks so cute poking out of Paris's skyline! I was an amazing way to see Paris, you really do appreciate the size of it from up high. 

We also went on a river tour this day, I wasn't sure what to expect but it was lovely! The sun was shining and I was sat in my dress feeling warm, it was honestly blissful. We went past the musee d'orsay, Notre Dame cathedral and the Pont des Art, all places I would not have seen otherwise. 

I often daydream about being back in this beautiful city, hopefully it wont bee too long! 

Have you been up the Eiffel Tower? Are you in love with Paris?

Lifestyle: Good Friday in Oxford.

Hello everyone, 

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, then you might know that on Friday I took a little trip to Oxford. We met up with some family friends and just had a generally lovely day. Oxford is one of my favorite places; the atmosphere always seems really laid back with everyone just pottering about or whizzing past on bikes. I'm always in awe of the architecture and heritage of the place too, lots of very clever, very academic people have waltzed through these streets don't you know! (warning, this is quite a picture heavy one!)

We started off the day with a few hours in the Ashmolean museum. We had lunch in the cafe which was just lovely, I went for the pasta of the day (totally recommend) and a can of my favorite San Pellegrino. After that we went into the Cezanne exhibition which was wonderful, I'm not usually a huge fan of impressionist art, but I loved his work. All the colours where just so delicate and I found I got a real sense of him as the artist by the end. 

After that, it was time to make the most of the sunshine, so we went for a little walk though Oxford's streets, peaking in all he quaint shop windows and marveling at the amazing buildings everywhere. We deiced  to visit the botanical gardens which were just lovely, there was so much colour! Tulips seemed to be really popular everywhere as well. We then took a walk around the river watching the little punts go up and down and dieing over the adorable ducklings (well maybe that was just me.) Some people were steering themselves with more success than others which I have to say was quite entertaining!

Oxford university is made up of a number of colleges, and it was interesting to see a few of them, all quite different, but all equally grand! With all our feet getting a bit achy and me and Pip feeling sleepy, it was definitely time for a cuppa. We went to the Rose Cafe on the high-street and tucked into afternoon tea; so good! By this time it was sadly time to hop back on the park and ride, parting is such was such sweet sorrow to quote Juliet, but we had such a lovely day! 

I'm now just trying to savor my last day before I'm back to school (boo) What have you been up to this Easter? Do you like Oxford?
