Brighton, UK - Part 2

Our trip to Brighton was in celebration of Mei's birthday - a surprise fishing trip that had been organised by Olie.
On the weekend we traveled, the last rays of the September sunshine came out and there was much talk of buying a cooler box to store our catch so that it would stay fresh on the train home. Sadly, no fish was actually caught and Mei got over any romantic notion that deep sea boat fishing was actually an enjoyable activity. The rough choppy sea resulted in several bruises, a good soaking and a new appreciation for the skill of baiting a line with semi-defrosted worms. Squishy.

It was mid-Autumn so we didn't expect London to have a series of 28+ degree Celsius days. We were not complaining as sought out ways to enjoy the perfect blue sky that coincided with a weekend of non-European travel. So we decided to enjoy the sunshine in the UK outdoors, venturing out to Brighton Beach for some sun. The short stint of great weather was perhaps Mother Nature making up for a wet, sulky summer where August didn't really live up to expectations and we spent our European holidays with an umbrella and rain-coat.
