No set plans for today so after a small sleep in, we decided to go to Brighton which is approximately a 55 minute train trip from London, leaving the train we just followed the crowd until we arrived at the beach and then headed for Brighton Pier, it looks exactly as you see in the photos, all the fun fair rides, the music and fast food outlets, very busy and popular.
After leaving the pier we went for a walk along the sea shore and I couldn't believe it, no beach sand but stones and pebbles, very hard to walk on and I have no idea how they sunbake in summer, I can not even imagine putting a towel down and sitting on it let alone lying on the stones.
Headed for the town itself and what a surprise, a lot of narrow lanes with quaint old style narrow english buildings, no local traffic so you just walked anywhere, A few hours later the weather was starting to turn grey and cold so we decided to head back to the station and head for London.
A few hours quiet time in the hotel before heading out to one of the local eateries for dinner and then a walk around the town and back to the hotel.
At the moment in England it is autumm and towards the end of the day you can feel the cold coming in.
