South Coast Staycation
With the weather hitting late teens back in March, we wasted no time in deciding to head down to the coast. After a well remembered overnight charge for the car, at 9 am on Saturday morning, we hopped in and headed south.
It was still a little overcast when we arrived, but warm enough to sit out and enjoy breakfast on the seafront. Breakfast breakfasts and tea for two cost less than £20 - one of the few benefits of leaving London. Being at the seaside is so peaceful, I really enjoyed just slowing down a little bit.
As the clouds cleared and the sun peeked through, we wandered down to the beach and made our way to the pier.
My penny machine skills are yet to fail me, I won 3 key rings and spent the rest of my change on an ice cream. A must by the seaside; always mint choc chip with a flake.
After that it was just about time to check in & we seemed to have booked the nicest hotel room in Eastbourne, the studio apartment at The Port hotel.
Dan went off to his car race that evening so once he left, I took myself for a walk to find some food - I was very tempted by the local Chinese but decided I probably wouldn't thank myself in the morning so instead went to the supermarket in search of girl dinner.
I spent a good hour or two by the big bay windows in the room, eating, journalling and watching the sun go down over the sea before making full use of the massive freestanding bath (with bubbles, obviously).
The next morning we did a little section of the Seven Sisters hike along the cliffs in search of a red and white striped lighthouse. Success.
ad then headed home via Brighton, spending the afternoon lazing by the Soho house pool.
