I honestly couldn't believe how bad it was. All the drunk youths who were roaming around on a Sunday afternoon, along with the boarded up windows that had been caved in on Saturday night kinda summed up the place for me...<br /><br />I was there on a beautiful summers day, which was a waste of a day. The only time I enjoyed myself was when we went along the pier and were away from the crowds of people, and all the bars and fast food joints! <br /><br />I love the pics though...of a place that I will never visit again, that is for sure...William K Wallacehttp://londoniscool.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-39270354258296459112011-11-13T11:06:27.184+00:002011-11-13T11:06:27.184+00:00your pictures are awesome!your pictures are awesome!this is Belgiumhttp://whatisbelgium.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-73075301439322622282011-11-12T15:39:19.660+00:002011-11-12T15:39:19.660+00:00that's so typical of the sea, isn't it?

I'm always a bit sceptical of Tripadvisor, but I do consult it to see if I can find anywhere with a consistent number of good reviews. Of course there is a lot of cheating going on in Tripadvisor, so it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-81052276356485364822011-11-09T08:31:02.785+00:002011-11-09T08:31:02.785+00:00@ David: thank you!

Not quite missing the sun yet, but am longing for a beach expeience. <br /><br />@ Pierre: Merci! It was certainly a dark and alluring atmosphere. <br /><br />@ Ola: it was quite romantic!<br /><br />@ London Caller: it was pretty, but not enough to stay. We headed home for wedding cake and tea shortly afterwards. <br /><br />@ Lily: ha ha! This is England in November. You won't see sun on the coast until around March or April. <br /><br />@ Mo: I agree!<br /><br />@ Ivanhoe: I'm dreaming of April when I hope to see some sun!<br /><br />@ Victoria: what a lovely thing to say! Thank you!!!<br /><br />@ Londoneer: yeah, I agree and I don't think I'd head out there on holiday. My friend suggested a day trip in the summer. <br /><br />@ Happy Kid City: I am definitely lucky as I too spent a long time dreaming of living here again and my dream came true. <br /><br />@ Steph: thank you!
