Stunning Seven Sisters Cliffs

Uncategorized 1 Minute

“I travel because it makes me realize how much I haven’t seen, how much I’m not going to see, and how much I still need to see.” – Carew Paritz

We moved on to County Sussex to see these beautiful chalk cliffs. Hiking up and down for the best view, with warnings from the locals to stay away from the ledges.
With the strong winds, hiking was a bit of a challenge.
The cliffs in the background were affectionately called the Seven Sisters by groggy sailors who gazed lustily through the mist from their ships and imagined a can-can of seven maidens lifting their petticoats. 😊
Here’s a good view of all seven!
Me: “It was SO windy…” You: “How windy was it?”
It was so windy that Murph had to use my head as a tripod!!! True story – winds were gusting at 40 mph.
This was a wonderful little, local farm-owned, ice cream stand. Most notable because the young man scooping is from Edmonton and we have a travel buddy from there. Shout out to Nathan‼️
Weather taking a nasty turn but I think it made this photo of Beachy Head lighthouse very atmospheric.
There’s no bad weather if you’re dressed appropriately ☺️
This is the Eastbourne Pier in the town where we stayed.
After leaving Eastbourne, we drove to Brighton and toured the Royal Pavilion – commissioned by King George IV in 1787. George was lively, decadent and trendsetting. He loved to vacation by the sea and host glamorous dinner parties at this palace. The exterior is an extravagant interpretation of Indian style. Inside, everything is predominantly Chinese – adorned with gilded dragons and carved palm trees. Like Brighton itself, the place smacks of faded elegance — but it was still fun to tour.
Even though it was windy & rainy we had to go see Brighton Beach,
along with their famous pier. Personally, I prefer the pier in Eastbourne🤷🏾‍♀️

    1. It was gorgeous – at one point I did complain to Murph, head down “well, this is unpleasant” due to the high winds. But we powered thru and had a great time just the same 😉

    1. Did not ask his name! We always laugh when people hear we’re from Michigan and then want to know if we know “so & so”. Geesh, hope I didn’t mess that up! Maybe you DID know him🤷🏾‍♀️

  6. Weather seems to be the exciting part of this seaside adventure. The background of white cliffs is stunning. Will you get a chance to go down to the sea shore?
