Our last day in Oxford included a little wander around New College (which is actually one of the oldest of the Oxford Colleges, founded in 1379), which was the venue for the Philosophy of Education conference, and includes some of the original town wall. Harry Potter fans might be interested in the fact that New College served as the location for some of the films. We also did some last minute pigeon hunting in Gloucester Green before boarding the bus for Gatwick.
We flew back to Innsbruck with what was perhaps the most spectacular landing I've ever experienced. It was smooth, but the descent and landing were quite fast due to very large mountains all around the airport. There was applause, which probably happens with most Innsbruck landings. Our friends here tell us
that often planes are rerouted around Innsbruck, so we were lucky for a beautiful day. We had a great time in the UK, but are happy to be back in the Alps. The conductor on the Italian train down to our town from the Austrian border and Brenner Pass gave us a discount, apparently because he liked kids.
