This morning we got up and had time to have a walk along the promenade seafront in Brighton.. It had stopped raining and the sun even peeked out. There is no sand here, all large pebbles. Although there were no swimmers in sight the lifeguards were set up on the beach. I imagine that this place is packed on a sunny day.
We then headed out of Brighton through the South Downs - the newest national park in England. They have the same chalkie rock as the Cliffs of Dover which is exposed on the hillside.
We passed by Uckfield - you can imagine how the graffiti artists have had a field day with these signs!
Lunch stop was at Royal Tunbridge Wells. We stopped at the quieter end of town and being a Monday anyway it was very quiet. Seems like a quaint place with a lot of old buildings etc.
We then headed in to London on the last leg of our tour. All in all we have enjoyed the tour and seen a lot of the UK and Ireland however Mal and I are in agreement that we would 't do a bus tour again. We prefer to do our own thing and have a less structured holiday - as well my tolerance for putting up with sick coughing people on the bus got very tested!
