Canterbury and Brighton

So update time, I’ve left London and run off down to thesouth of England, My first stop was in Canterbury ( I am currently on the train to Brighton) Anyway, Canterbury, absolutely stunning, possibly that had a lot to do with the glorious sunshine, but I think the gorgeous Tudor buildings, stone churches, medieval city walls, cobbled streets, ambling lanes and imposing and spectacular cathedral , definitely gave the city a great deal of extra charm. Stayed at a great hostel, really homely and comfy…. Last night we were all out in the garden, people drinking beer,

singing and strumming guitars….. really relaxed place…. As I mentioned before, I’m now heading to Brighton, which is as far as I have planned so far, seriously the transport system down here is bizarre, it has the most gorgeous coast, but heaps of it is pretty much inaccessible unless you have a car….. or you have to take really bizarre routes to get places, like all the way back to London and then onto your destination…..

So Brighton, really beautiful, old world charm and decaying icons of wealth and status... interesting pier/fairground, kind of scary to suddenly realise that the rollercoaster in over the water, on a pier that was built in the late 1800's! But the jewel of Brighton for me is the amazing Royal Pavillion, it is stunning, the place is extraordinary, and truly awe-inspiring, I walked around it mouth gaping ..... stunning, opulent and decadent....... dragons and serpents are everywhere, in the wall paper, in the enormous chandeliers, coiled around drapes and on the carpets..... beautiful, beautiful place........
