After a 10 minute walk through the adventurous winding streets of Brighton we reached the pebble beach. Happy people, energetic people, full of colour and excitement, people everywhere, which made the place vibrant and festive. One could find people from different cultures, countries, everybody speaking a variety of languages, wearing colourful clothes (except for me as my sister saw the pictures, who lives in a different country, and asked me if it was very cold in Brighton, which was not good in my case kind of embarrassing). It was definitely a fun day out, I wish I had worn better clothes.
Anyway, so first we decided to check out the Brighton Pier, and then we’ll venture out to the beach. We walked all the way up to the end of the pier, inside is a casino with lots of video games and rides for kids. Outside were lots and lots of food stalls like fish-and-chips, ice-cream, creps, sweets and candies and mussels. It was all very delicious as all three of us were starving. I took many pictures with my camera mobile, as the sunlight was very strong I was unable to see the screen, hence I was just clicking the ‘capture’ button blindly. But the view of the beach from the pier was fabulous, the colours, the perspectives, the sea it was all breathtaking.
After checking out the pier we all headed down via a ramp on to the beach. The beach is almost all over wheel chair accessible, and if one is on a manual wheel chair and someone to push that is even better, one can go right up to the sea. As we came down the ramp, they were many shops and restaurants all in a row (which seemed infinite). We walked along the shops for a bit, mostly selling paintings, handmade jewellery, decorative ornaments, different kinds of bags, hats, scarves, drinks, sweets, etc. soon we could smell the fish and it was irresistibly... that was it we had to eat now. My Mom had seen a chalk board, outside a shop, that said ‘Freshly Grilled Fish’ (salmon, cod and the name of some other fish I don’t remember; I think it was mackerel), and soon we were all heading towards it, so we went there as we wanted to have grilled instead of fried. It was so nice over there like a road side cafe whereas instead of the road we had the beach, which was even better. My Mom went in the shop to order grilled salmon while I made myself comfortable outside under the parasol soon my Mom joined us as well. Coz, my Mom and me started talking about the sun, about how the day are so long and warm. Soon our food was here (I even took a pic of it to show it to my blog readers) the fish was very small and had bones. It came with raw salad and a piece of sliced lemon on the side with a bowl full of chips. It smelt really good and had a delicate salmon fish taste, well I enjoyed it a lot. We all sat there for a while eating, chatting and enjoying the sun.
