Matt: Where did you guys end up last night? Warren: Brighton?!
So we get to Liverpool Street station and head to the ticket booths. We ask the man we want to go Brighton, but he tells us it only goes from Kings Cross, London Bridge or Victoria. So we get on the train an head to Kings Cross as its the closest station to go to!
We get to kings cross just past 6am. Went to the ticket machines to get our tickets. It was about 16quid return, 11quid for me and Lori as we have railcards! yay for us! hehehhe!
Got our tickets and the train was due to leave at 6.39am so we made our way to the platform. We still couldn't believe we were doing it! hehe!
So got on the train, and an hour and a half later we arrive in Brighton! 7.55 am to be precise! so thats exactly 24 hours that i've been up! go me!
After picking up some food and water, we headed out looking for the beach.
On the way we went past a store, and lori and ben brett decided to pick up soem cans. While walking down we saw the brighton pavilion, where Warren had got married. It was really beautiful! We decided to go there, but the tours weren't starting until 9.30am, so said we'd come back later. Off to the beach it was!I can't remember when i last went to a beach! think i must have been 8 or something when clacton? actually tell a lie i did go to hastings when i was 13, but cant remember if i went to the beach? And i did go to a beach when i was 16, but i dont know where it was and it wasnt realy beach weather! :S
It was amazing though! as it was so early, there was hardly anyone out, let alone on the beach! we went straight for the water, even though it ws freezing! hehehhee!!! Cue action shots!!!
We then took a much needed nap under the sun as the beach started getting busy.
I think i got up at about 11am. Everyone pretty much got a tan, as the sun was directly on us. We were quite hot and hungry by then, so decided we would get breakfast. After walking around trying to find a place that did 24 hour brekkies, Hannah pointed out one she'd seen earlier on. Good choice hannah! it was soooo good eating proper food on a beach under the sun! I think bondy called then, he was waiting to watch the cricket and it was raining! hehehe!!! he wasn't too pleased that we were in Brighton! 'Bastards' i think that was his exact response!! hehehehe!!!So after breakfast we headed to 'The Lanes' where they have all these little shops in the allyways, which is really cool! Warren was looking for a necklace he'd bought when we was there last time, but he'd lost.
We couldn't find the shop though!A few ice-creams and awesome fudges later, we headed to the train station. But as we were going there, there was this mass parade of people on the bikes. We were just walking past, when i realised they were naked. Yes NAKED!....we all ran up to the front with our cameras (apart from the guys, because thats quite pervy! hehehhe!)...it was soooo wierd and disgustin, but so funny! most people were fully naked, others had parts covered, but trust me there was a LOT on display! we couldn't help but stand and laugh! i think the naked bike parade was to get cars off the roads or something? but not sure, anyhow it was just a good end to a good day in Brighton! hehehe!
We got to the station, and there was a train in like 15 minutes.
We got some drinks for the train (obviously not alcoholic because of the ban :(...) The journey back was shorter as we were going into Victoria, so it only took like 40 mins? Most of us just slept on the way back seeing as though it was the 30th hour or so that'd we'd been up!When we got into Victoria, Warren gave Ben (589) a ring as he was with Wendy who had his house keys. We realised they were in Victoria too! so met up with them and told them our antics over coffee.
Ben Smeeb decided it was time for him to go, so said our buys to him. hopefully see you in Spain!!!!
It was after that, that Lori decided she wanted a curry. I wasn't hungry but the thought of curry did sound tempting. We immediatey thought of Masala Zone, where we went last time with bondy and Kat.
Seeing as though it was in Camden, we decided we go to 55 and carry on drinking! Hannah and ben brett took us up on that offer and off we went! Warren and Ben589 thought we were mad! hehhe!Got to camden, and hannah and ben brett decided they were going to wagamamas instead, so we split and agreed to meet in 55 at 6pm for happy hour! hehe!
Curry was good! Lori had a butter chicken thali, and i had chikken tikka masala! By the time we finished we were soooo full, it was unbelievable!!!
we headed to 55, in time for happy hour. By then we were soooooo exhausted, but we wanted to carry on until 8pm, so that it would be a 24 hour drinking binge, and 36 hours of me being awake! by about 7.24pm we were just so exhausted that we agreed to call it a night! day? lol
We all parted at Camden Station. I got home at about 8pm, and went straight to bed! Wayne calling me from Budapest just before midnight wasn't something i was expecting, but regardless i had i good nights sleep! and now that this blog is done, im going straight back to bed after a nice breakfast! hehhe!
time now: 11.46 am
Bloody amazing weekend, and one of the most random things i've done!! Love all the london TB lot!
