The normal travel time from Bath to Brighton is 3 hours, it took us 5 hours. Now I know what is meant by the "English Traffic". I must say though there was an accident and a breakdown and there is very few places to pull over to the side of the road. It is the first time in 3 months we have had such bad snail pace traffic.
Brighton is super busy, people everywhere, like sardines in some places. I suppose being the school holidays doesn't help.
We are directly across the road from the beach and Brighton Pier. The pier is a definite tourist attraction. It has rides, games, pubs, and other eateries. We went on the very tame ghost train.
After the pier we had a ride on the "hop on hop off" bus and got to see much of Brighton while being given a commentary. I know I have said it before but these buses are well worth the ride. It is almost impossible to drive around the city and outer areas (the bus has its own lane) and it is too far to walk , so you get to see a lot of what wouldn't normally be possible.
At the pub last night I had a Sussex Stew, most delicious stew I have ever tasted, yum.
Sorry about the lack of photos, some of these places wifi is so slow it is a pain to down load them. If and when we find a faster connection, I will post a few at the same time.
In the meantime, it doesn't get any better than this!
