We made our first food stop at Choccywoccydoodah Cafe. Oh my word! This place was amazing but a total chocolate overload. I had a delicious hot chocolate and then Hayley and I shared 2 cakes which came with ice-cream and more chocolate (see photo). Pretty much put ourselves into diabetic comas.
We managed to move on from there and headed down to the seaside. Yay beach! We went to the Brighton Pier and walked along to the end of it. It's a cool pier with cute stands & stalls along the way and rides at the end. Reminded me of Santa Monica Pier in LA.
We quickly realized that something was happening in Brighton this weekend because as soon as we got of the train there was quite a large amount of people dressed in bright clothing, especially men dressed as women and rainbow flags...and that's how we came across the Brighton Pride Parade! When we got off the pier the parade was going by so we stopped and joined in with everyone partying, dancing and having a good time.
Once the parade had passed we were able to cross the street and head to the sealife aquarium. We had a 50% off voucher we found in a tourist guide. The aquarium in brighton is the oldest in the world...it opened in the 1800's. Patted a starfish.
We then headed for lunch at a delicious Thai tapas restaurant called The Giggling Squid. So good.
Wandered around a bit more then headed back to the train at around 3pm to get back to London. Such a good day trip location, be sure to check it out if you have time from London.
