Brighton

We went for a little cruise to Brighton the other day. Brighton is about an hour south of London, in a slightly easterly direction. It is located on the beach, and the beach it was.. Now, dont get any preconceived ideas about white sand, sun and beach volleyball, because if you were thinking of this, you would be sadly disappointed. Brighton, was however, fantastic. A little town, a little like torquay, except a little more tourist driven.

It's England's place for little weekend getaways that started with King George V (or someone of his nature) taking his misstresses down for a little weekend adventure, and has never really lost that reputation.

At Brighton, on the main pier, similarly shaped like Cunningham Pier (fancy that! they are both piers..) but a little wider. This allowed a genius to put a big showground type arrangement on it, with rides, fairy floss and some awesome arcade setup.. with motion simulators, and driving games and such forth.. you all know what an arcade is.. but, alas, we did spend a fair wad of cash having been the only computer games we have seen in months.

Apart from that, we saw a few Aussie shops, ripcurl and mambo, and we actually saw a lego shop.. fully dedicated to lego! i was impressed. the photos are following, so i hope you have a good time trying to think of a story to accompany them.. a story that i wont tell you! just to make you think...

oh yeah.. and me and steve accidently walked aimlessly through a cemetery.. we thought the path lead somewhere.. but, to our dismay, it went in one entrance, around the cemetry and back out.. our bad..
