Moving on to a trip to Brighton, UK.. Not too far from London, only an hour train journey if you take the train from Victoria. A seaside city that somewhat resembles Santa Monica(California) to me.
Couldn't have asked for a better day to be here. Half the time I'm in UK, it's cold and gloomy. Even when it's suppose to be summer. It was actually pretty cloudy when we got here, but thankfully the sun came out to play!
Brighton is a pebble stone beach so if you're expecting a nice golden sandy beach.. Nadah! Even though the sun came out, the weather was still a little too cold for suntanning. And it was extremely windy. Lost count of the number of times I nearly got blown away, literally.
When you're at the beach, eat fish&chips. And guard your food well before an unsuspecting seagull swoop your food away.
There's a fishing museum along the beach and there's several fishing boats outside to take pictures with. I'm quite happy with how the photos turned out. The power of natural lighting.
I actually think the highlight of this place for most people is the arcade. There's this machine, something like coin dozer that everyone is glued to. Half the arcade is filled with this machine. There are some family-friendly amusement rides on the pier too.
There were also several interesting streets and I wish we came earlier to check out the cafes and vintage shops.
Another interesting structure which I know nothing about: The Pavilion
I only had about half a day at Brighton but I thought it was pretty sufficient to see most of the city. The trains frequency from London were pretty high too. But if you have more time, consider taking a bus/train to Seven Sisters!
