Jacqui & Chris in the UK
Brighton
30 - 31/03/2002

Over the Easter long weekend we took a short holiday to Brighton, one of England's favorite holiday spots. It is the English equivalent of Santa Monica, Surfers Paradice, or perhaps St Kilda Beach. We had fabulous weather the whole weekend, proving that UK is not always dreary (still too cold to swim though...)
