My weekend in Brighton....

Tom and I drove down from Cambridge on Friday night. After we checked into our B&B (a Hollywood themed establishment, we stayed in the Humphrey Bogart room!) we wandered down to the pier and had a quick drink in a pub...

On Saturday, we had a yummy cooked breakfast at the B&B. There were 2 lesbian couples and 2 gay couples. A german hetero couple and us in the dining room... so it is true about Brighton being the Gay capital of Britain!
We walked back down to the pier after breakfast and made the mistake of going on a couple of the rides... a Waltzer, which made us both feel a little sick, then on the log flume, which got me absolutely soaked!!

After a recovery icecream, we got some supplies for the beach (Saturday paper, big bottle of water) and chilled out for about 3 hours.... Lunch was some sandwiches eaten on the grassy bit by Brighton Pavillion under the shade of a tree - was quite hot! After a delicous seafood dinner, we dropped by one of Tom's old university friends houseparty. Mike (the scouser) is really nice... speaks funny though!!

On Sunday we checked out of the B&B, and went to wander around and window shop in the Lanes. Then we hit the beach again. This time Tom had his swimming shorts with him, so he changed discreetly on the beach, and went for a swim.... I just went for a paddle - was too cold for me!

After Tom had dried off we went and watched the cyclists finishing the London to Brighton bike race for a bit. Further up the beach is a little crazy golf course, so we played that... was fun. Tom beat me though!
Then we drove home... traffic wasnt too bad, considering the bike race was on.
