Brighton (Day 1)
Got back home today from Brighton, where I've been since Sunday. Me and Marc left on Saturday night and went to Coventry, where we met some incredibly random people and then wandered round for a bit until we asked someone for directions and they gave us a lift to the megabus stop. When we were waiting there we were going to go to Tescos (It's right next to it) and get some food, but it was closed, even the petrol station. Then we noticed they'd had some of their newspapers delivered already and in our drunken state decided to nick a bundle and make a bonfire. In a tree.
So we accidentally half-destroyed a tree in Coventry while waiting for the megabus, and nearly got frostbite while waiting around for about three hours. We finally got on the bus and on our way to London, I fell asleep, and then we sat in a coffee shop for about two hours feeling sick. London to Brighton was populated by posh University of Sussex students comparing their shopping from Oxford Street (Actual quote: Oh, those trousers are lovely!) and then we got excited when we first saw the sea. Arrived at the hostel about 3pm, and we had an entire 8-bed room to ourselves, only Marc was actually too tall for the bunk beds(!) We decided to have fish and chips for dinner, since we were running out of money and they're nicer by the sea anyway. But the place we went to had nice chips but the fish tasted really old, and it cost us nearly a fiver. We had a wander around town then and went to bed about 5.30 out of tiredness, couldn't sleep and went to the beach instead. There was a storm coming in and it was really pretty, watching the waves go wild and the occasional huge lightning flash. I would love to live by the sea, apart from the wind.
