1. Punting: turns out Heather's really bad at punting because it's the opposite of canoeing in a lot of ways. But no one fell in the river, so it was considered to be a great success.
2. Aimless wandering: Kate is very bad at navigating, so we wandered up and down side streets trying to find a place where we could have lunch that was Kate friendly. We succeeded. Eventually.
3. Visited a great sweet shop. Heather bought a huge slab of toffee. It came with a toffee hammer. That's how you know candy will be good, I'm pretty sure.
4. Sat in Christ Meadow. We watched some students going to their exams. It turns out that all Oxford students have to wear a cap and gown to their exams. They're not allowed to WEAR the cap, but they have to have it with them or they'll get fined. They also have a carnation on their gown, the colour of which is indicative of which exam you're writing. It's a little ridiculous.
5. Played giant pickup sticks. Heather was winning, but then they gave up. Giant pickup sticks is apparently surprisingly difficult.
6. Helen's mom made us supper. It was delicious.
In the morning, it was time to go to the airport. Helen's mom dropped us off at the bus station, then we took the bus to the airport. What followed was a very uneventful flight home. Lots of movies were watched.
