Oh, wow! Brighton is absolutely amazing. Our hostel was right on the beach, so every morning when we woke up, we could walk out onto our balcony and look out onto the ocean and the giant pier.
We swam in the ocean two days in a row, so I've been able to obtain a tan in England. Who knew that was even possible?!! Of course, we also had the traditional fish and chips on the beach, and Maike and I had squid for dinner one night.
There's an amazing palace in Brighton called the Royal Pavillion. Price George IV lived there with his brothers and hosted all kinds of lavish parties. The dining room was intriguing - the main chandelier is 1000 lbs and hangs from a giant dragon. Right next to the Pavillion was the Brighton Museum which was free and contained some really interesting exhibits. There was a Vespa display, a history of clothing, and local Brighton history.
Overall, the weekend was great. I have to admit, I felt sad leaving the place. My description hardly does it justice.
