Chapter 220: Brighton
On a beach somewhere in Brighton.
The sunlight in the sky is as strong as Van Gogh's sunflowers, and the turquoise ocean below is particularly transparent, like a piece of flawless and pure blue crystal. Lie on a beach chair and get to the pebbles on the beach without having to roll over. There was a slight burning sensation in the pebbles, and this feeling was a clear reminder of one thing - this was not a fucking dream!
Pebbles are the hallmark of Brighton Beach, where the rest of the beach is mostly sandy, while in Brighton it is a beach with dense pebbles. Walking on it, those who like it, such as I feel like I'm doing a foot massage, and those who don't like it, like Flower, feel like I'm walking on a shiatsu board.
Not far away, Frau's grinning man came over with a plastic bag, walked up to Ruth, took out a bottle of drink from the plastic bag, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Honey, your juice." ”
Ruth hummed, pulled her sunglasses down and glanced at Flor, then took the juice, and handed over a bottle of sunscreen in her other hand, "Help me apply sunscreen." ”
Flower smiled, flattering as if she was Li Lianying next to the Empress Dowager Cixi, "No problem." ”
I coughed, "Little Fuzi, where's my beer?" ”
Flower was busy pouring sunscreen into the palm of his hand to serve Ruth, and without looking back, he said, "Take it yourself in the bag." ”
Looking at Flower's dog-legged appearance, I had no choice but to sit up, walked to Flower's side, rummaged through the bag of beer, and said angrily: "Rub you, where are you a servant." ”
Flower stopped and turned to look at me, his eyes glowing with murder, "Shut up." If you hadn't tricked me, would I have gotten to this point? Now I should be lying on a beach chair and enjoying my holiday instead of walking two kilometers to the convenience store to buy you some dog-day cold beer! Do you know how painful this pebble hurts to step on! ”
I smiled, "It's like a foot massage." Besides, I'm not trying to persuade you many times, you have to bet on me, I can't help it. ”
Before the final, I made a pact with Flor on the simple terms that if I could break my personal best in the final, he would be my servant during Brighton, and otherwise, I would be his servant.
In the end, it was clear that I won.
Flower muttered quietly, "Who knew you monster could swim fifty-two seconds in the final." ”
"Don't be like that, be happy. The holidays have just begun. ”
I smiled and patted Flower on the shoulder, and walked towards Rhodes, who was playing with Koko and Big Tiger not far away.
Walking up to Rhodes, the little guy smiled and looked up to greet me, "Richard!" ”
I patted Rhodes on the head, "What are you playing?" ”
Rhodes sighed, and his little face suddenly became a little depressed, "It's not fun, I originally wanted to build a castle." But the beach is here, there is no sand here"
"Is that so?"
I turned my head to look at Flower and Ruth, who were already tired of being together, and patted Rhodes on the head with a smile, "How about taking you to the carnival?" ”
Rhodes' eyes lit up, "Is that okay?" ”
I smiled and took Rhodes' hand and walked in the direction of the carnival, "What's not to do, let's go." ”
The carnival is located on the other side of the beach, and it is actually a small playground with a beach volleyball court and basketball court. There are very few things to play, such as swings and merry-go-rounds, and the only thing that can be called a large facility is the small Ferris wheel standing on the beach.
After putting Rhodes on the merry-go-round, I stood by the carousel and waited while looking at the beach volleyball court not far away, where more than a dozen young men and women were playing beach volleyball. Not to mention swimming trunks and beach pants for men, the focus is on women, and all the youthful girls wear bikinis, all kinds of bikinis!
Imagine a dozen white beauties in bikinis with an average figure of B playing beach volleyball on a sunny beach, showing their beautiful bodies in the sun, and countless shadows of the balls in the playing field swaying. Is there a second thing in the world that is more pleasing to the eye?
Just spent an afternoon on the beach, after a simple bite to eat at a small restaurant by the beach. We decided to take a look around Brighton's city.
This seaside city in the south of England is not far from the city of London, just 1 hour away. Unlike most British cities, which tend to have cathedral as the centre of the city, Brighton is the opposite. The landmark of this seaside city is the Imperial Court.
In 1815, Prince Reggart built the Imperial Pavilion in Brighton in order to facilitate his mistress's date. The decision to choose Brighton as his holiday destination led to the rise of others, resulting in a legacy of Georgian architecture and a reputation for extravagance.
Walking down the streets of Brighton, you can feel the perfect combination of classic and modern in this small city. On the one hand, there are Georgian buildings from the 19th century everywhere, and antique shops selling even silverware and jewellery are still being sold. But on the other hand, Brighton is also home to the second largest concentration of high-tech companies in the UK. There are many universities here, and the University of Brighton is one of the top universities in the UK.
Walking to the shopping street, there were more people all of a sudden. Brighton says it's small, it's only a 10-minute walk from the seaside to the city center, but it's big and big. A commercial street is divided into north and south lanes, like a mini town.
Brighton's alleys are worth a leisurely stroll. Look east, look west, it doesn't matter if you don't buy something. They are charming. The North Lane area north of the Royal Dome Palace is dominated by clothing, handicrafts, and a bit of hippie. South of the Dome Palace until the beach is the South Lane area with plenty of restaurants and cafes.
Halfway through, Rhodes suddenly tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "Richard, what are they doing?" ”
I looked in the direction that Rhodes pointed me to, and there was a couple of men hugging each other.
"Forehead ......"
I didn't know how to answer.
In addition to the seaside city, Brighton has a well-known nickname on its head - "GayCity", the city of homosexuality. Because of its peaceful folk customs, it has become a paradise for famous gay men in Europe and the world.
But I didn't expect to see a couple so soon and be noticed by Rhodes.
I subconsciously looked at Flower for help. Flower looked confused, and Ruth smiled and hugged Rhodes, "They're just expressing their love for each other." It's like when you see grandpa kissing grandma and dad kissing mom. ”
"But, they're all men."
"What's wrong with the man? It's like you like ice cream, but grandma loves muffins. We are all children of God, all equal, and we all have the right to choose what we love, understand? Rhodes? ”
Rhodes nodded as if he didn't understand.
I looked at Ruth as if I saw a microcosm of the spirit of the city of Brighton.
