chapter 7: Blenheim and Keswick

After Oxford, we took off by bus for Winston Churchill's family estate, Blenheim Palace (click the link to access the Blenheim photo gallery; they didn't let us take pictures indoors).

In addition to its historical importance and classic English beauty, Blenheim was also the location of the Dean's now-infamous "If you don't make it to the bus on time I WILL leave you behind" speech, which the group found highly punctually motivating.

Just cut off from the picture is the showerhead in Derwentwater Hotel room 209, which hit me on the head (hard!) before refusing to turn off, leading to the eventual dripping on the residents of Derwentwater Hotel room 109 (sorry, guys).
