Lovely Brighton and its Lanes

After realising train tickets are way past our budget we decided to hop on a bus to Brighton!
As you may know I've already visited Brighton last year with the lovely Daria (Hi!!).

It was nice to come back. Brighton has an amazing seaside that I'm jealous off. It's quite a young city in comparison to London where people seem to be born in their 20-somethings.
We looked at Brighton's sights including the Brighton Pier, the Royal Pavilion as well as the Brighton Wheel.

What we did miss the last time were 'The Lanes' and I've literally no idea how we could've missed them as they're one of Brighton's attractions, haha.
The Lanes in fact is an area of small.. lanes. Just as the name says. And you'll find innumerable little stores whether they're independent or chains. But all of the stores adapted to the spare room which the lanes provide. Pretty charming. Especially with all the cute little flags that were installed when we visited.

Before taking our bus home back to London we were lucky enough to see the sun set..

Day 9: Short Trip to Brighton

Monday, 12/August/2013

At about 10 o'clock I met Daria from Russia at London Bridge as we were told that tickets to Brighton were a lot cheaper than at the London Victoria Station. And they really are. 16 Pounds for ticket and return are a pretty great price for a good day in Brighton. And you can take any train (that goes to Brighton) that you want. The  The journey takes one hour but it felt like less. As we arrived there we first checked the map outside in front of the train station. We planned our way to the Pier so that we would pass the Brighton Pavilion. Really beautiful building!

After a while we arrived at the Brighton Pier! It was bit windy but great! :)

 

After relaxing a bit at the Pier we went back to the city center and to the urban mall that had a hmv store with probably the biggest music and movie sortiment. It was almost 3 o'clock by then so we decided to find a nice little restaurant to eat fisch and chips from the seaside. A restaurant called Tiffany's caught our sight. And we were verz pleases with it. Not only the Fish and Chips we ate were amazing but it also had a lot of diverse food to offer. I wish I could've tried everything! ("Tiffany's,, 22 North Road, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1YA")

With new strength we did some sight-seeing in the city. Very beautiful!

It was a great day and at 6pm we returned to the train station to go back home.

Goodnight everyone! Laila xo
