Had to put sweats over my cute beach outfit

Royal Pavilion, very cool inside, no cameras allowed tho

Eating lunch and avoiding the rain

Giant fish and chips...straight from the ocean!

can't go to the beach... go shopping! Trying on funny hats

Exploring the lanes, alleys of shops

Brighton Beach, so cold

View from the pier. At this point it was so windy the top of my umbrella broke off and flew away.
With only an hour left we decide to stop freezing and went to a pub till our bus came.
