Brighton

Yesterday I took another day trip down to Brighton.  Brighton is on the South Coast of England.  It was a rather sunny day out so that adventure down there was quite pleasant but windy and still very chilly.  I reckon that this city would be much much better if it were summertime so I will have to venture down there again this summer.  When I got there bright and early in the morning there were plenty of joggers running up and down the shoreline. I joined them by walking all the way to the famous Brighton Pier.  I walked the entire Pier to find out that it was nothing more then little stands/shops to get bad food (ice cream, candy, pop, etc) video games, casino, and at the very end RIDES!  Very random I thought for a pier - very nevertheless of course very interesting and something that I'd never seen before.

Brighton is a very small town so after walking this pier and the shoreline I then saw in the distance what I really came here for -- the Royal Pavilion.  It was SO beautiful even from a distance and before I knew it I was standing right next to it.  I walked the entire yard about twice before I decided to venture on it.  I also visited the Royal Museum right next to it.  This place I couldn't take pictures inside - however it was beyond imagination and was just gorgeous!  I learned a lot of history about the royals and Queen Victoria.

I took plenty of pictures of the Pavilion from the outside (see below).  After wondering around there for a while it appeared like the only other thing to do in Brighton was go shopping and they also had out a lot of vendors and farmers market type of vendors.  I ended up getting some lunch which was some sort of Garlic and Beef sandwich type of thing.  It was ok.  I decided to end up going home when I started to get a really bad headache which ended up ruining my Sunday plans to go to Bath.

Since I didn't go to Bath like I intended today - I've so very bummed because today is beautiful outside.  I ended up sleeping off my headache 'I THINK' but I also had to take a lot of aspirin.  Not sure why I have this horrible headache - could be do to lack of sleep, jet lag, or the new environment.  It was the worst headache I think that I've ever had.  As for now - I feel much better and ventured to ASDA supermarket again for some more goodies!
