Not that the UK is famous for its sunbathing weather (or that I&#8217;m the sunbathing type for that matter), but there are few things as relaxing as a walk on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my intentions for this year was to see more of the UK, but so far I&#8217;d only been to <a title=\"Traveling back to Roman times at Hadrian\u2019s Wall\" href=\"https:\/\/urbanpixxels.com\/hadrians-wall\/\">Newcastle<\/a>. And it&#8217;s already June! So last weekend we got on the train and in less than an hour&nbsp;we arrived in Brighton. Distances are a funny thing. Getting to the other side of the city will take me an hour, but traveling to the coast is only 45 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it turned out that Brighton has more to offer than its famous pier. We spend most of our time&nbsp;exploring <em>The Lanes<\/em>. This historic part with its narrow streets is now filled with an interesting mix of quirky little shops, antique vendors, coffee shops and restaurants. A bit bohemian, sometimes eccentric, but above all a fun and relaxed&nbsp;area to walk around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But of course I couldn&#8217;t leave without a walk on the\u00a0Brighton Pier. Early this year I went to see the &#8216;Only in England&#8217; exhibition with amazing photos by Tony Ray-Jones of Brighton in the sixties. The outfits may have changed, the amusement modernized, but other than that it hasn&#8217;t changed much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day isn&#8217;t&nbsp;enough to see all of Brighton (there were some coffee and cake places I need to come back for), but there&#8217;s a lot you can see and do just by walking around. And since it&#8217;s so close to London, I would say it&#8217;s the perfect day trip if you want to escape the city in the summertime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London has a lot to offer, but what it doesn&#8217;t have is a beach.
