Return to the UK...
Hiya Peeps!
I've just returned from the UK attending a conference at Oxford. It was my first time at the University, and it was great to meet new people, get advice on my work, and also see a bit of the city. Before coming back to Nigeria, I also spent the day in London. Though I've been there before, it was still nice to re-visit some sights and also do new things. Enjoy the pics below!

| I NEVER get tired of these Sahara shots! |
 |
| On the bus from Heathrow to Oxford...how lame! |
 |
| I'll never get used to the driving on the other side of the road. |
 |
| Oxford! |
 |
| View from my room at 6am...I really missed the cold weather! |
 |
| Walking towards the central city. |
 |
| I *think* this is the Oxford Philomusica. |
 |
| Downtown Oxford on a Saturday afternoon. |
 |
| I had lunch at Bella Italia for the 2nd time! Granted the 1st time was at the Port Angeles restaurant. (Is it bad that I look for Twilight connections everywhere?) |
 |
| Christ Church College, prototype for Harry Potter's Hogwarts! |
 |
| Dining Hall! |
 |
| Recognize any headmasters? Dumbledore or Snape? |
 |
| I think I found the Gryffindor table! |
 |
| I love how the Hogwart's Dining Hall ceiling always reflects the time of day outside. |
 |
| Outside in the compound |
 |
| The oldest building in Oxford...some sort of Anglo-Saxon tower... |
 |
| My taxi! |
 |
| Now in London...emerging from the Tube... |
 |
| Big Ben! |
 |
| *SIGH* Westminster Abbey! |
 |
| I made it just in time for the tour! |
 |
| On my way to the London Eye |
 |
| The pod I'll ride in |
 |
| The pod in front of us |
 |
| Big Ben and Parliament from the London Eye |
 |
| Me and Big Ben on the London Eye |
 |
| Buckingham Palace from the London Eye |
 |
| So I tried to go to 10 Downing St.... |
 |
| ...didn't know they've closed it and only invited guests can enter. |
 |
| Buckingham Palace at night |
 |
| On my way back on the train, heading to Heathrow to catch my flight! |
