Anyway, here's a few pictures from when we went to Brighton, which is a popular seaside town about an hour from London.
These pictures were all taken by Amanda Hunter, who was there. My camera was being repaired at this point.
The beach was rocky, instead of sandy. It was very difficult to walk on without shoes, but the rocks didn't get all that hot and they were surprisingly comfortable to sit on.
I was walking around drinking my Strongbow (the alcoholic apple cider they love in England), because you're allowed to drink on the beach and walking around town. But when we tried to go on the pier, I got yelled at, so I had to finish it in a hurry.
We spent some time on the pier, riding the crazy mouse roller coaster and playing the games.
Here I am about to defy the rule about jumping off the pier. Except not.
This thing had two giant uprights with these giant elastic bands that you get strapped to. The bands get pulled tight and then they count down from three and release you. You go shooting up like 40 feet in the air and flip around and bounce back a bunch of times. It was cool.
This was some former King of England's Indian Pleasure Palace. We thought that was funny.
Okay, well. I am hanging out with friends at the moment. Photos and stories from Venice soon!
