Brighton Pier - Undercliff Walk

August 2, 2012

Welcome to London!!!! Got off the plane, got through customs at a fast pace and then waited and waited four our suitcases, figures!! And while waiting the child and those parents caught up to us and as predicted yelled and screamed at him while he wailed and wailed at the top of his lungs. I would feel more sympathy for them …

We woke up late feeling the effects of last nights fun, so we dragged ourselves out of bed to get some breakfast. In the dining area, we looked very shabby compared to our fellow diners, but today we didn't care about bejng the loud Americans. Since we were the last people to sit for breakfast, we were able to chat a bit with Simon about our time …

... in!   We had a little wander around the town to show Holly and Zach and also showed them the pier.  We are intending to come back to Brighton soon to see other friends so we didn't actually go on the pier this time. It is a significant place ...

... . Caused much hilarity back in London, look at those Australians who got sun burnt in England. haha. We went on the rides on the fun pier, went to Brighton Pavillion and checked out a few bars including, sadly, a walkabout (chain of "Australian" ...

Yesterday I took the train to Brighton for the day, to meet up with a few friends. First order of business was to drop Jo's stuff off at the hotel. There were a few snags though: we didn't know the address of the hotel, were uncertain of the name, and ...

... Again for those who don't know, Emma is my cousin (Claire's sister, another daughter of Chester, and Alex is her husband). Brighton was fantastic, just how I imagined it would be. It was packed full of people down from London and around about because ...

... most amazing tofu dish I have ever eaten. Next we headed through the streets towards the smell of the ocean until we reached the Brighton Pier, which had a small amusement park. We went into a haunted house and I got cotton candy on a stick, which I ...

... we were more in a mood to wander around outside. So we made our way down to the waterfront and were soon at the famous Brighton Pier. It was definitely the largest pier I’ve been on and was filled with food stalls, candy shops and of course, a ...

Made it to sunny & breezy Brighton today......took hop-on/hop-off bus through town itself, as well as stroll along famous Brighton Pier, witnessed locals enjoying rocky/pebbly beach. Another lovely seaside town with a nice feel to ...

... to get to hang out with my fellow international students and meet people from all over. On Saturday, a bunch of us went into Brighton for the first time (to buy that mattress pad) and the city is absolutely beautiful! Most of the buildings are old ...

... a rush to get down to the seafront...the light is all but gone, and I want to get the last snap of me and the bike on Brighton Pier at dusk. Like a pathetic "I made it to Brighton, the end of the world!" photo. I ride the bike up the footpath and start ...
