Had a lovely flight from Atlanta to Paris. Only had the chance to sleep for about 3 hours. Luckily years as an insomniac prepared me well for this because we got the ground running.

This morning we did the Oxford Castle Unlocked experience which I admit I didnt really want to do. I have to say it was a very enjoyable morning and the tour was done very well indeed.
