Brighton revisited

It had been hot in England a few days before July 5th, and this was good for us because I had had a plan to take my friend to Brighton and enjoy sea bathing together on that day. The last time I visited Brighton, the beautiful scenery struck my heart very much, so I decided to go there again to show it to my friend also. The temperature was also high when we took a coach at the Victoria station as those of the previous days had been. So when we got off the coach in Brighton and checked in the hotel, we felt like running to the beach immediately. There were no air conditioner in our room, and it had just a large fan on the ceiling. I had been satisfied with the ocean-viewing room, but I regretted that I had not made sure in advance that it had an air conditioner. My friend complained about it, but I could not help it. Under these circumstances, getting relaxed in the hotel room for just a few minutes, we headed to the beach without delay. It was good for sun-bathing but the water was too cold to swim for a long time. As a matter of fact, it was only for the first few minutes that we got in the water. For the next few hours, we spent our time just in the beach and closely saw the tide was getting higher. Only experiencing such a natural phenomenon became our unforgettable memory. For a while we could play with a stray dog, which faithfully brought back a pebble to any thrower. It was a so cute little dog that I think I should have taken a picture of it. When we agreed to go back to our room in the hotel, we felt a bit cold. On returning to our hotel, which was located within the distance of a few minutes' walk, the receptionist asked us how we had enjoyed the sea and beach. We just answered, 'it was a bit cold to swim'. After talking a hot shower, we got dressed and went to the restaurant to eat delicious fish and chips. We still could have a sea view from our table. Having dinner in this way, we walked around the Brighton Pier, and played some arcade games there. It was a wonderful night, indeed. Back in the hotel, we watched a comedy movie on DVD titled Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy, which had been put in the room to entertain the guests. I could neither catch up with the speed the actors speak nor understand the story well, I fell asleep in spite of myself while watching. The following morning, we had an English breakfast in the cafe near the beach, and went to the Royal Pavilion; but before we headed to the Pavilion, we had to go back to the hotel so that my friend could get some more clothes; the second day was cloudy, windy and cooler. As for the Pavilion, this time, I could go inside the building and saw wonderful rooms and furniture. There was Queen Victoria's room because the Pavilion itself was built for the seaside retreat of King George IV, her uncle. The banquet room was so gorgeous but it was not allowed to take any photographs. That's why both of us bought official guide books. We looked around the rooms listening to the audio guide, and we could learn about the historical building and the royal genealogy as well. Leaving the pavilion, we looked around the city centre, and headed to Brighton Marina, the huge shopping mall with some restaurants and amusement facilities. There we killed time until our coach was coming. Before we got on the coach, we had a Italian dinner in the restaurant near the coach station. Anyway, in Brighton, we enjoyed such a wonderful summer experience.
