BRIGHTON........


not quite like the brighton sands back home...!

but sunsets are beautiful no matter where you are really.

one of my mates at work desided that he wanted to get the hell out of london for the day.

we didnt have much cash so our options were limited, and also becasue we only wanted to get out for the day- we had to go somewhere in the u.k

so we went to brighton- which is where the beach is, in south england.

it is a wierd feeling i tell you now - to be at the beach when it is a nice nd chilly 6'C

we went and had a few beers and fish and chips and there was an amuesment park on this big pier so we went on the rollercoaster, which cost £6.

in this picture you can see the pier with the rides behind me.

a wierd thing i saw that did my head in is- before you get to the amusement park on the pier you have to walk through like a timezone/arcade game buliding, that morphs into a pokie den. it spun me out to see adults piling their money into pokies while kids next to them are playing "Street Fighter"

it was a good day though to get out of the hustle and bustle of london and i think that is the key to surviving over here- get out every now and then.

one of the great things about london is getting away is not that hard.

will be trying to go to see stonehenge next weekend.

on the way home at the tube station i noticed this poster advertising sydney....
