Great News!! Second stage of my stay in Albion is on the way and will be there from 29/08/2014 to 08/09/2014 ! ! :D

(in London, except for the last 3 days, which will be spent in Littlehampton)

I carry many pleasant memories. Hope the weather will be just as nice as the first time two years ago. I have no doubt people will be just as nice as back then. :)

Any suggestions for a meetup?


Littlehampton is the pits; makes Hastings look nice. Whilst you're in that area catch the train to Brighton / 700 bus from Littlehampton to Brighton (may have to change at Arundel - also a nice visit)

I read that you appeared to visit cathedrals: I suggest you visit Winchester cathedral/Guildford cathedral - both travel-able from Littlehampton

I talked to another person about this subject and decided I must spend one day in Brighton. I plan to visit See Life Brighton Centre, Royal Pavilion and possibly Brighton Toy and Model Museum. I guess there's so much to see that one day is far from enough to cover at least the most important sights. Well, there's always a next time...

Im glad you arrived safe! I would second the advice to visit Arundel, it has lovely castle and cathedral and wetland centre, its only 5 miles from littlehampton so short train ride or taxi. I grew up round there and it is very lovely, it was home to the 'Howards' and Duke of Norfolk who were big players in the Tudor/Elizabethan sagas. In the cathedral grounds it even has statues which were beheaded in the tudor reformation of the church (the cathedral and Duke were catholics) which is interesting. As I recall you can ride on a boat taxi to arundel from littlehampton up the river arun which is fun.

Very nice scene, thanks! I will look for a possibility to visit it.

Just a short update. I'm in Brighton in the Brighton Museum right now, after visiting the Royal Pavilion, which is surprisingly magnificent. Yesterday I visited Arundel, the castle, the temple and the cathedral. The castle is fabulously rich and magnificent, beyond expectations, even comparable to Buckingham Palace. But then came the Pavilion...

So, all goes well, thank you for the advices!
