      Seaford and seven sisters park

      13 czerwca 2023, Anglia ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

      Today I walked part of the English coast walk and saw the seven sisters. A very hot day today, so got a bit sun kissed and walked just on 14 kms. In the boiling no shade pathway! Silly but determined! I finally realized and so tied my shirt round my head and neck ...

      First I went to Seaford, a pretty wee village and was fascinated by the cliffs there and the long rows of beach huts. Walking along that promenade I was reminded of how Brighton would once have looked bright and cheerful, instead of all the building renos going on amongst the crumbling structures, graffiti and filthy streets, it is party central here, so one can imagine the mess of the streets first thing in the morning after the revellers are done!!

      Oh how I long to be back on the Camino in Spain!!

      I then chatted with a local whom I asked about the seven sisters (cliffs) and she suggested I get the bus and rejoin the coastal path at the seven sisters park. I took her advice and walked back into the wee villages of Seaford to catch a bus... It wasn't far, and soon I was on the coastal path again ..... It was further than I expected in scorching heat, but I was determined to get to the viewing point.

      As the grass verges and .mud flats gave way to a very Stony beach, the sisters came into view, but it was still a hike over the stones, sinking into gravel then sand until the water front reached and a great view of the sisters emerged.

      Fascinating coastal walk with so much history...I particularly liked the museum with the gun on top...built to keep Napoleon at bay across the chanel!!??! Sadly tho the museum was closed!!

      I retraced my steps back to Brighton and met a lovely man at witherspoons where I stopped for dinner...a vegan hamburger and zero alcohol beer to quench the thirst of the journey. I was about to leave when he, Mark, suggested he buy me another beer as he was enjoying our chat. It was beginning to cool down outside and a nice evening to chill. He invited me to come and see where he works for the National trust at "Attingham house" in Shropshire...a very interesting human being,..I'll see how I go, but the wind takes me so many places.

      Also my German friend, Christian, finished his Camino today and shared a photo of his Compostella, I am so delighted for him... When we met he was limping with sprained ankle and knee, but he made it!!! Well done Christian ...a train driver from Germany.       Czytaj więcej

      Brighton days

      10 czerwca 2023, Anglia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Saturday and what a packed place Brighton is and how diverse in it's shopping precincts as well. It's certainly a stunning town, but very busy...
      Yesterday I walked around 10 kilometres right up the beach and back to get an idea of the place. A stunning walk along the promenade beach for miles!
      I then got lost in town as I do..but soon found my way to my accommodation again. Came across the amazing Royal Pavilion and won't mind visiting this for a morning.....
      From Wikipedia:-
      "The Royal Pavilion, and surrounding gardens, also known as the Brighton Pavilion, is a Grade I listed[1] former royal residence located in Brighton, England. Beginning in 1787, it was built in three stages as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811, and King George IV in 1820. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century. The current appearance of the Pavilion, with its domes and minarets, is the work of architect John Nash, who extended the building starting in 1815."

      So my explorations go on..I've added a couple of scenes of the pavilion, my walk down the promenade and a couple of the dining room at my accommodation.       Czytaj więcej

      Royal pavilion dome and the lanes

      12 czerwca 2023, Anglia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      A day to the pavilion only to find it full of young people on school trips. I'm going to try again in the a.m. the "Dome" was closed no theatre offering, as was the museum!!

      The lanes are interesting on their own, full of little art galleries, clothing, shoe shops real boutique places.

      I spent some time writing at the library and having breakfast with some of the locals... A hardy bunch of 70+ year olds doing deals with each other. Very funny!

      I enjoyed afternoon tea Al fresco looking out at the Royal Pavilion when a poor woman became the focus of everyone's attention when she dropped a tray full of glasses, cups plates... poor thing I did go to her aid, she was so upset. Luckily the waiter came with a brush and told her not to worry "it happens". How kind!

      After the heat of the last few days I was so surprised to get down to the beach front around 4 30pm to find it steeped in mist creeping up onto the promenade. It didn't stop people from enjoying sitting on the sand or at a favourite cafe on the beach or on the merry go round! Such resilience!

      Notice the date above the tattoo shop...1770!! Such history.       Czytaj więcej

      Winning big

      19 grudnia 2023, Anglia ⋅ 🌙 5 °C

      We took this morning slowly with a sleep in and coffee (with bickies, of course!) We used some leftover milk sachets we had since we didn't have any fresh milk...

      Having no more milk was what kicked off the decision for us to go and get some for another hot drink.

      On the way to the shops we decided to take a detour to the beach. While Brighton beach is filled with pebbles, it does look very nice, especially in the sad rain drizzle.

      We then explored the Brighton Palace Pier, which is a small amusement park. We wanted to know the general pricing to check it out tomorrow when the weather is supposed to be better. Turns out that there isn't an entry fee so you can walk around the area freely and pay for the rides as you want.

      Another section of the park was a game arcade, which we walked through and decided to spend some quid and play some games. Bec almost immediately hits the jackpot on a game and the machine starts printing tickets for about a minute straight!!

      After that excitement we continue to spend the rest of our money on games. (Without earning too many more tickets.) Before we knew it, 2 hours had gone by... So much for the coffee.

      We ended up cashing in our tickets and it turned out Bec's win was 500 tickets! And in total we had only won ~650 tickets.

      The saddest part was that out of the dozens of options we had for prizes, we excitedly exchanged the tickets for a tea towel and a shot glass. Safe to say our childhood selves were probably quite upset with that choice.

      After we had our fun, we headed to the shops finally and grabbed ourselves some milk and lunch. We then rested for a while before heading back out!

      We walked to Andy's work for a quick drink and to say bye to him, before heading back to the accommodation.

      Southcoast sippas

      18 grudnia 2023, Anglia ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

      So we said goodbye to our comfortable birthday accommodation and headed to the coastal community of Brighton, where we picked up our fellow Australian and headed on a hike! The devil's Dyke. After we finished the hike through the the valley we stopped off for a pint in the pub near the start of the trail.

      From here we headed into the city of Brighton, fought to find a park and did a bit of a walk around the main shopping district before we made our way back to our accommodation to find a permanent park for the next few days before heading out on an adventure.

      We headed to Andrew's first place of work where we enjoyed a cocktail, we then headed to a bar where we played some videogames before going on a nighttime adventure. After a few more random pubs we found a kebab place and then walked home.

      Trying to stay dry @Brighton

      13 października 2019, Anglia ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

      Trocken und windig sind wir recht gemütlich in den Tag gestartet. Auf die Wetter App achtend, waren wir gut darauf vorbereitet, dass es genau um die Mittagszeit wieder regnen würde. Also haben wir uns bemüht das Sightseeing davor zu schaffen. Es ist uns ziemlich gut gelungen und mit den ersten Regentropfen sind wir ohne Schüler , die nun Zeit zum „shoppen“ haben, in ein unglaublich gemütliches Lokal gestartet . Nun fühlt es sich bei offenem Kamin und Chai Latte nach „ cosy Sunday afternoon“an!
      Am Schluss kamen wir sogar noch in den Genuss der ersten Sonnenstrahlen als wir am architektonisch schönen Bahnhof auf den Zug warteten und zwei Schülerinnen machten dem Ruf der Österreicher als Musikernation alle Ehre!       Czytaj więcej

      The City of Brighton 🏡

      16 kwietnia 2023, Anglia ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Brighton ist eine bunte Stadt und das ist nicht nur auf die Landschaft und die Bauwerke hier bezogen. Jede Person kann hier genauso sein, wie sie es gerne möchte, weshalb sich hier auch viele Personen, mit grell gefärbten Haaren oder komplett mit Tattoos übersät, finden. Jede Person wird akzeptiert wie sie ist und das ist wunderbar 🌈
      In den Bildern sind einige Eindrücke von meinem Spaziergang durch die City of Brighton zu sehen. Insbesondere den Royal Pavilion fand ich aufgrund seiner Bauweise faszinierend: Ein Gebäude im indischen Stil gebaut mitten in England. Auch die Blaker Street mit ihren bunten Häusern ist ein echter Blickfang und die St Ann's Well Gardens sind nicht nur wegen ihrer Szenerie einen Besuch wert. In diesen Gärten befindet sich eine alte Quelle, der früher sogar heilende Kräfte nachgesagt wurden, weshalb so mancher Arzt seinen Patienten riet, das Wasser der Quelle zu trinken. ⛲️🌳🌲       Czytaj więcej

      Brighton

      8 maja, Anglia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Die ehemalige Perle der Südküste ist bunt, unkompliziert, aber keine beschauliche Seekur mehr. Verkehr trennt den Ort vom Meer, Prachthotels sind Jugendherbergen, das Meer frisst die schönen Jugendstilfassaden auf. Alles ist ein bisschen punkig und abgenutzt, hat daher "Jugendcharme". Wir lassen uns herumtreiben, nachdem wir uns am Bahnhof versichert haben, dass es wieder Züge gibt.
      Wir "fallen" quasi in eine Bar/Pub, schrill, bunt, coole Musik. 2 Bierchen, inzwischen immer langweilen Lager, weil die Ale Experimente nicht so bierig sind, eher fruchtig eigenartig, herrliches veganes Pupfood machen mich glücklich. Lange chillen wir da.
      Später schlendern wir zum Pier und dem Royal Palace.
      Durch die immer gleichen Systeme sind wir inzwischen Meister im Bus fahren, auch innerstädtisch. Die Rückfahrt zur Unterkunft jedoch bringt uns durch sämtliche Stadtteile, weil die Station auf der anderen Seite anders heißt, es finster ist und wir uns drauf verlassen zu wissen was wir tun. 🤣🤣🤣🤣       Czytaj więcej

      Auf nach Southampton

      9 maja, Anglia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Wie es scheint, fahren die Züge wieder normal. Der Streik ist so organisiert, dass immer Gebiete betroffen sind. Heute ist es in den Norden hinauf von London weg. Der Süden hat den Streik schon hinter sich. Wieder erleben wir unglaublich freundliche, zuvorkommende Menschen.
      Der Zug nach Southampton ist pünktlich am Weg und wir ein Stückchen weiter...       Czytaj więcej

      Do you want to go to the seaside?

      1 sierpnia 2023, Anglia ⋅ 🌬 20 °C

      Day out at Brighton today. First truly warm and sunny day so was great to spend it by the sea. Some train troubles getting to and from there but well worth the trip. Walked up and down the promenade which was sooo long and straight. First taste of British fish and chips. Checked out the Brighton Pier and had a drink with a view out to the cliffs. Spent a lot of time walking through the interesting alleys and lanes. -V Czytaj więcej
