Going down to Brighton, singing!

Hey Surfers,

Hope everyone's weekend has been going well and that you've all been enjoying this most rare appearance from our friend, the Sun!

My best friend and I took a road trip down to the  beautiful city of Brighton, where the houses are colourful, the sea is blue and there is the worst traffic imaginable! Haha, other than getting stuck in that we had a pretty enjoyable day.

The scenery on the drive up was breathtaking, it almost felt that we had left England behind and were driving through a European mountain range.

When we got into the city we flagrantly ignored all of the warnings about trying to drive into Brighton thinking: "it won't be that bad"

...how wrong we were...

We ended up stuck in traffic, as I mentioned,  for a very long time with the sparkling blue sea literally just outside of the window.

 Once we finally parked the car we roamed around the beach for a moment then decided to explore the famous pier. After the Haunted Hotel we went on "Crazy Mouse" and my backpack was nearly lost in the ocean after we were spun around, screaming may I add. 

Below is the roller coaster we debated on riding but chose Crazy Mouse instead.

By the time we left the pier it was getting late and we were frozen from the sharp sea breeze (breeze being an understatement) I luckily brought my leather jacket but we both seriously regretted not wearing more layers. My friend turned to me at one point and said "Next time I dress for the sun, remind me what month it is!"

It was too cold and too late to experience the famous Brighton shopping, so we ducked into a cafe and had a coffee and some tea. My fingers had pins and needles and I couldn't even feel the heat from the cup as we were so numb!

Just a pretty shot of the Lanes, with all of its shops shut.

The cafe itself was adorable and the staff were lovely; they sold some truly beautiful cupcakes which are featured in the banner of this blog. The link for the cafe is here-check them out if you're ever in Brighton: http://www.vbites.eu/brighton

Shivering, but having had a great day we climbed back into Bumble, my friend's car, and made the long trip home (stopping for some truly terrible Burger King on the way):D

We look forward to heading back to Brighton when its warmer and having a proper look around. I hope you enjoyed this post. I actually filmed some vlog footage of the day for my friend's Youtube channel; she's linked at the top of the page-PuddyGeeks.
