Quest for the perfect UK place - Oxford
We continue
our search for the best place to live close to London but out of it.
A nice
place we have been told is Oxford, a lively cosmopolitan city that is chosen by
many expats.
Well,
getting there is easy and fast with those double carriage (I would say two
lanes) roundabouts every few miles.
We have
driven in almost all the countries who drive the wrong way of the road but here
you have to pay EXTRA attention to look to the right when entering.
After these
lines you will find some pictures of Oxford. We just don’t like it, for many
reasons but one of them is they don’t like visitors, or at least they to bring
a car.
In a Public
parking – covered- we struggled to enter , because it was designed for Fiat 500
alike cars. Inside, not enough room to put the car into the marks. No problems
let’s find another one. This time it was open air but really great parking
lots.
Let’s pay,
3.90 pounds an hour (is this New York?). Ok, let’s use the credit card, blast
they don’t take, a 20 pounds note, they don’t take notes…
You can
only use coins, no change is given and you have to enter your number plate!!!
And besides
all this mess in the country I am living they consider than a Eco Tax of 1 euro
a day in unfair for tourist!
May be they’re
right it’s unfair that in Barcelona, for example, you can pay with credit card
in the streets and Parkings
