At the seaside

Shastra and I caught the train to Brighton today. She was my roommate on my tour through the middle east and she was in London for a weeks and then heading back to Australia. It turned out to be great weather, just a bit windy. First we headed towards the pier. Apparently when you are in Brighton you have to eat fish, chips and mushy peas- so we did while sitting on the pier. The pier is full of amusements and rides. Shastra really wanted to go on the merry-go-round. So we did. It was actually fun! When then went to wet our feet in the water. As we were chatting a wave got us! So we lay on the pebbles to dry off, it didn't take long, as it was quite sunny today. It was so nice laying on the warm pebbles in the sun.
We then walked pasted the Grand Pavillion and through the Lanes and stopped at little boutiques and browsed many shops. Another must do was to have a Pimms drink, so we stopped at a pub, had a few while sitting in the sun and people watching. Was time to head to the train station and too soon we were back in London.
