After a car, a plane, a train, another plane, and a bus we made it to Oxford, UK. Here are some of my adventures with Flat Lola since we arrived earlier today.
This is me learning how to drive a trolley through UK customs.
After dropping our luggage at the hotel, we went to grab a bite to eat. I had mousse and some Mango Tango tea.
This is Flat Lola in front of the pastry display at Patisserie Valerie, the shop where we a had tea. The shop was originally a school way back in the 1200s.
Tonight we ate at a little Italian place. There was a wall behind some glass that was over 500 years old. This is Flat Lola, Chloe, and me in front of this old wall.

This is a really old door outside a bookstore in Oxford. I liked the lion head doorknocker.
This door is inside the Bodleian Library/
It is one of the oldest and biggest libraries in the UK. They add 3 miles of shelves every year to add all the new books.
Flat Lola toured a prison that was built in 1070. The Oxford Castle was a prison until the 1990s!
This picture is of a straight jacket.
This is one of the teeny tiny cells that prisoners had to stay in.
Flat Lola and I got in trouble and got placed in the stocks. Prisoners could spend 3 days without food and water standing in these. People threw rotten food at them. It was legal to punch the prisoner in the face while they were trapped in the stocks. The prison guards nailed the prisoners ears to the wood so they would have to look up the entire time they were standing in the stocks.
