21st June 08, Brighton Day Trip

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day without the Sunshine :(, we still decide to go ahead with our plan for the day trip to brighton, the southern part of England.
Some of u might know that I used to study in Brighton 10 yrs ago (OMG..issit really that long ago???) Returning to Brighton has always 1 of my plan and i really want to see how much changes in brighton over the pass 10 yrs.
Arriving Brighton at 11am, we decided to walk straight to the seaside. while walking along the street, i try to catch something familiar scene, but unforunately, I hardly see any except the old clock tower is still standing at the entrance of Churchill Sq.
Came to the seaside, looking at the right, i saw the burn down West Pier, a beautiful antique look pier which wa built in the 1800s was destroyed by fire in 2003...sad....
walking on the beach, yes, the rocky beach...Jessie and Kevin find it amazing that the beach is actually all rocks instead of sand...
On the Pier, it still look the same as 10 yrs back except a few more roller coaster has been added in the limited space.
After the pier, we had our lunch at seaside. Hornestly, even i stay in brighton 10 yrs ago, i didn't actually try the fish n chips there b4, its actually veyr delicious especially the cod fish.
After that, we walk towards the Royal Pavillion, which look abit like the Mosque :)
Heard that it was build from the royal to please one of the arabic wife/mistress?? long long time ago....
after the walk, we catch a bus to Marina Bay, I remember i used t go there to buy grocery as they have a very big asda supermarket. But now, the marina bay has become one of the very happening place where they have lots of restaurant, cinema, bowling center and factory outlet shopping area..
It was a tired trip but i am glad that we made it eventhough the weather wasn't really good. At least I find myself something to do in the weekend :)
I wish to go back Brighton again in a real summer day to enjoy the sunshine and the atmosphere at the seaside :), Myabe wait for rain to come back in august huh!
