London / Brighton Pt 1

A free weekend! FInally, we were actually going to step out of our 5 mile circle and explore outside of London to Brighton. Getting out there with such short daylight (about a mere 6 hours worth nowadays) requires an early morning leave however, so around 7 AM we headed out of our apartment to get on the bus that'll take us to the train that'll bring us to Brighton. Yeah, not as easy as the States.

At least we lucked out with the weather. It was said to be really cloudy but when we awoke there was hardly a cloud in the sky.

If anyone wants to visit us, just look for our local bus stop, haha. 

It's so strange how music is gets popular/released a different times depending on location. This was just put up the day before. Even Awolnation is just now getting posters for their album and is really popular right now, seems like they've been around for a long time already though. 

One of the latest skyscrapers introduced to London, the Shard. Very impressive looking building, though it's pyramid-like shape makes it look taller than what it really is. 

London Bridges looking really good since being rebuilt. Ya know, since it keeps falling down...

A bunch of people staring at the time board is a very common site around here. 

I wonder why West Coast hasn't adopted the train as well as East Coast or Europe/Asia. Seems pretty practical IMO. 

A pretty good visual summary of modern-day London. 

Honestly though, the train ride out wasn't too interesting to watch. I was hoping for more countryside but instead got mostly towns/suburbs. 

So this is a beach town...    Yeah, we're not in Cali anymore. 

Huh, I could have sworn his name was different...

Another badass Defender. I'd take a 110 over a G Wagon any day really. 

Part 2 to be posted soon.
