A bright sunny Saturday morning, and we decided a trip to Brighton would be good, as it was only around 25 miles away from our Crawley hotel.
We found Brighton to be busy and bustling when we arrived late morning, and we parked in a multi-storey (underground) car park on the sea-front. (an expensive £5+ for just 2 hours).
A look at the Brighton Pavillion was followed by strolls around the busy "boutique" shops and cafes of "The Lanes" then a more leisurely stroll along the pier and a large sundae ice cream.
After a couple of hours we decided to escape the hussle and bustle of a busy Saturday and head for a more sedate Eastbourne.
This was followed with a late Fish and Chip lunch at Harry Ramsdens in Eastbourne, and we mulled over the differences between the two seaside resorts.
The more up-market, chic, busy (and expensive) Brighton versus the quieter, OAP haven of Eastbourne (well the sea front was nice , Eastbourne shopping area less so!).
Parking in Eastbourne was considerably cheaper!!
We enjoyed aspects of both, and having filled up with chips, we headed off for a steady drive back in the summer sun to the delights of Crawley, and to prepare for our music festival treat the following day at Hop Farm.
