Day 17: Blenheim Palace
Down toward Oxford to see Blenheim
palace today. We’ve seen lots of castles but none of the stately homes England
has to offer. We’d been told that Blenheim was one of the best, so we headed
down to check it out. It didn’t disappoint. As Australians, where everybody is
more or less equal (or at least has the opportunity to be more or less equal if
they work hard), it’s hard to get my mind around this kind of wealth and
privilege.
At the palace we also attempted
their hedge maze – the second biggest in
the world apparently. It was great fun and not particularly easy. Carol was
standing on a tall platform attempting to tell us where tyo go. Only problem
with that is that from up there you couldn’t see all the dead ends – so she
sent us the wrong way a few times.
Dinner was at ‘The Gurkha’
Nepalese restaurant. Fantastic!
