Trip to the Sea

This past Saturday the Roehampton student union planned a trip to Brighton - the city by the sea. We met about 9, left by bus about 9:30, and arrived at 11 so it really isn't that far away at all. The weather, although early it seemed like it was going to be a gloomy day, was perfect. The sun was shining and it wasn't too cold.

I found a group of really nice girls - one from Japan, another from India, and another from the Virgin Islands - to spend the day with. We had a blast. One of the main attractions in Brighton is the pier. It's like a mini amusement park with some rides and old school style carnival-type games. Of course we did the bumper cars, and then the octopus (tons of arms goes around and up and down...haha), and also played some arcade games with 2ps (2 pence). I couldn't help but have some fish and chips since I was right there at the beach! I also influenced my Japanese friend to try it, and she loved it! :)

We basically just spent the day walking around Brighton and along the beach, and of course on the pier. It was a lovely day :) I would really like to go back and explore it a bit more.
