Dani and I had such a great time in Brighton. It's is often called, "London by the Sea" since it is a coastal town but rich in history and culture. It was the first time we had heard of Pimms, a well known summer drink in England. It's like Sangaria!
Brighton:
When we got to Brighton, we got to walk around a bit and then headed to the Royal Pavilion. Here is a little history about the Pavilion: "The Royal Pavilion is an extraordinary and extravagant pleasure palace.Built for the Prince Regent, later King George IV, in stages between 1787 and 1823, the Royal Pavilion is remarkable for its exotic oriental appearance both inside and out. This magnificent royal pleasure palace was revered by fashionable Regency society and is still a distinctive landmark for vibrant Brighton & Hove today. The Royal Pavilion is also home to some of the finest collections and examples of the chinoiserie style in Britain." I loved this place and hope to go back again one day soon!
