Brighton :: on a not a very bright day !!

One thing that I have learnt after coming to London is to brave the rain/ cold/wind/sun and go out on a weekend .. Initially I found it quite grey but gradually I am learning to enjoy it as well like the British do .. And now that we are to go back in couple of months time I am all the more determined to see new places as much as I can :)

Anyways ..so last Sunday we had planed to go the beach town Brighton .. a one hour train ride from London ..

 We had kept this trip for the summer months but as I mentioned we are to head back to India soon so we took the trip  ..

Its a beautifull town on the South coast of England .

We first headed to the amazing Royal Pavillion

This farmhouse turned palace built for King George IV  is a must see if in Brighton .

The interior of the palace is mesmerisingly oriental ....And ineterstiingly neither the king nor the designer had travelled to China .. :)

So after our Royal Pavillion tour was done we browsed through the shop  and couldnt find anything interesting affordable ..

Next we went to the Beach !!

After strolling around for a while in the beach we headed towards  Brighton Pier

The Pier had lots of interesting stuff in it :: kids play area,game zones.pub, cafe,and restaurants ..

We went around and to warm up ourselves settled down with tea and some fish and chips :)


By that time the sun showed up a bit so we went down to the beach once more dipped our feet and sat on the pebble for a bit ..By that time lot of the crowd had already jumped into the water :)

By 6:30 we left the beach and walked a bit more ..saw the clock tower

And then took a bus to the station ..

It was a good trip ..had it been a sunny day ofcourse it would have been great ..

Anywyas lets see if we get some sunny days ahead and I get to enjoy the British summer I might coax the husband to make a second trip to Brighton !!
