Brighton 8-9 May

This weekend we headed down to Brighton for a weekend out of London and for a friends early birthday bash. As we could get some supercheap tickets a few months back, yes only £6 return each. We had it booked in for a long time. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and it was still rather chilly with a nice wind and the rain. We still made the most of our time there, we walked around the streets for a while looking at all the nice little shops and market stalls. It was a good thing we were on limited budget other wise we could have spent a lot of money in these shops. We had lunch of pies in a pub and ended up with a walk along the famous pier a look at the rides, some of us even went on them. A stroll along the English pebble beaches and a few goes at skimming the rocks on the unusually calm sea.

There were 11 of us staying in the dorm in the hostel for the night, sprucing our selves up we went out for dinner. The Italian restaurant was good and because we had some drinks before heading out (you know make the night cheaper) we were all a bit more raucous than usual. This did not matter as there were loads of smashed people in the eatery. Enjoying our nice Italian meal we set out to find somewhere to party the night away. Heading away from the main strip and walking for a while we found a pub that had live music playing. We entered to find out they were a heavy metal band. Not really our scene the group split and we went for a night club down near the peir. Ending the night at 2:30 Kier n I were back in the hostel and trying to sleep.

The next morning there were no fights for the shower but it was clearly a struggle getting 11 ppl to shower in 1 room, many of us going to the other floors to use there showers there were queues all other the place for a spot in the shower rooms. Checking out of the hostel by 9:30 we headed to get some breakfast and to make our train at 12 back to London. The group split again and Kieran, Kelly and I went to an American diner we had seen the previous day by the beach from. Ohh man it was soo good we had some really good pancakes and kier also had a milkshake it was a nice way to finish the weekend and an even better way to top of a night out on the drinks. If only there were more American diners around and at the cheaper prices like this one.
