Travelog for: Dharma

I will be leaving here tomorrow, so today I got my host to translate another old story for my notebook. Little Tex and I choose nice colors for it so it wouldn't look so boring. There's glitter, too.  After that I had to help her with her homework that's due tomorrow.

Wow! I'm in England! I haven't written for a few days as I've been soooo tired with all my travelling and have been sleeping a lot. I'm staying with a really nice lady and her cat. This is a photo of when I was introduced to Lilith the cat. Don't worry! She looks scary but she's very nice (for a cat). I think we will be friends.

We are right by the sea here and I can hear sea gulls while I'm typing this! I can't wait to get out and about and see all the wonderful things there are to see in Brighton. I've been told I might even be able to go to an amusement park!

I finally got to visit the beach! Yay! We started off at the Hove Peace Statue and then walked back towards Brighton. This is a picture of me in front of the remains of the West Pier. I was told it used to be very pretty but then there was a HUGE storm and then it caught on fire! You read more all about the West Pier here: The West Pier

As you can see it was very windy! My ears got blown all over the place!

I wasn't too impressed that the beach had pebbles instead of sand!

As we walked further down the beach I saw some boats. They were very pretty and the ropes attached to the masts made lots of amazing noise in the wind. I wanted to go out in one but they are all privately owned so we couldn't I think I would have been scared about getting blown overboard anyway!

Woohoo! I finally got to go and have fun on the Palace Pier in Brighton. It was just like an amusment park over the water! I've taken lots of photos so you can see what it was like.





This is the Horror Hotel which was very scary!


And this is the log flume ride where everyone got wet! Luckily it was really warm:


The helter skelter:


Apart from all the rides there were lots of games too:

I got to go to another beach! This one is called Eastbourne and it is very nice and clean. I really enjoyed the bus journey there too. Eastbourne has a lovely pier which luckily hasn't burned down!





My host tried to get me to go for a swim but I said it was too cold



I also got to listen to a brass band play music in the bandstand on the beach - it was really good.



This is the view from the bus on the way back:

Just before I left the UK I left instructions for my host to update my travels. Here are the last few pictures of me in Brighton.
This is me in front of the Royal Pavilion:



and a picture of the Pavilion gardens - they're very pretty:


You can read lots more about the Pavilion here:

I managed to collect a great story about Devil's Dyke which is just north of Brighton. I've included it in my book.


That's it! Looking forward to being home.

I'm home with Mirdin again.

Thank you all for the great updates and hosting me!
