We decided to do a 40 minute boat cruise from the Folly Bridge in Oxford to Iffley Lock and back. We discovered Salters Steamers a boat cruise company who charge 7.50 GBP, compared to the Oxford Boat Company who charge 12 GBP for the same trip. They offer cruises on the hour so we boarded the 16:30 cruise. It was a medium sized boat, probably for about 20 people. We went down the Thames River and saw the university boat houses, there were also a lot of children playing in the river.The boat went along Christ Church Meadow and we saw a lot of parked canal boats. A pleasant boat cruise.
This blog is to capture our wonderful memories of our travels abroad - Boston (19 June 2012 - 15 June 2013), London (29 September 2013 - 5 July 2014) and Oxford (1 October 2015 - Current). A tale of two South Africans living abroad... a poet/husband/advisor/eternal optimist studying political Theory at Oxford University, wanting to better the world, and me, a third generation Chinese South African who is the Executive Director of READ to RISE and children's book illustrator.

Boat Cruise to Iffley Lock (Oxford)
Summer has finally arrived in the UK, with temperatures in the late 20's this week.
