trip to Brighton

So I had this lovely post all written here and when I was playing with pictures I accidentally deleted the text. After half an hour of googling "retrieving clipboard" I forfeited and going to write the post again. Maybe I'll remember what I said 5 days ago...
Last weekend I went to Brighton to see my friend who is at some point going to be famous. The weather was lovely so we were doing touristy stuff, walked around the pier and I had candy floss. The thing about Brighton is that it's the gay capital of England. Maybe true. It's a sweet little city though. Most of stuff is walking distance. We walked through North Laine and laid down on the beach. We also saw some monuments.
The bottom picture is from outside the Pavilion. Quick history that may have been taken from wikipedia. The Royal Pavilion is a former royal residence located in Brighton. It was built in three campaigns, beginning in 1787, as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, from 1811 Prince Regent. It is often referred to as the Brighton Pavilion. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century, with the most extravagant chinoiserie interior ever executed in the British Isles.
