Brighton

Brighton can be best described as London by the beach. Someone cut a part of London and placed it next to the sea. Instead of a quiet beach town, I found myself in the middle of a busy 'city'.


A city full of the same High Street stores, the same traffic, the same sounds and also similar odd shops.But, it had a beach and a view to boast about.

A beach with a difference too. This was no ordinary sandy beach. Pebbles rule over here.
The beach was lined with boats too. Boats that had once sailed and fished in this sea. Boats that are now filled with grass and weeds.

And like every beach, it had a pier, but a pier with a difference. A pier with arcade games, gambling machines and more. A noisy entertainment centre with the k-ching, k-pow, and k-lang like every major arcade and gambling game centre in a city.

Brighton, you may be loved by many, but I'm sorry to say I shall not come by again.
Our tastes differ greatly.

But where else are you going to go when you need to buy vegetarian shoes?

I'm stopping by on my way to commenting on as many NaBloPoMo blogs as possible.

Those are some great photos; I always love to see other parts of the world which might not be on everyone else's site. :)

And, of course, everybody loves vegetarian shoes :)

I remember the first time I went to a pebble beach in England. We were walking along it going "Why - OUCH - on - OUCH - earth - OUCH - does the beach - OUCH - have PEBBLES?! OUCH!"

I'm such a typical Aussie I guess, bring on the sandy beaches! :)

Jenn, I looked at them very closely. There is no way they came from tomatoes and potatoes instead of cows. But I will be going back there again for Mark wants to go. Maybe the shopping will be a little cheaper than in London.

Hi Sephyroth, thanks for visiting :) well, my camera broke down so it looks like there won't be any more photos. :(

Hi Katie, I haven't seen other beaches yet. But yes, this one didn't have a grain of sand. It is good I was wearing shoes instead of thongs. Where in Australia are you from?
