Day 17, Brighton

Crisp air, blue skies and sunshine - why can't the United Kingdom always be like this?
Brighton is pretty nice, the pebble beach and the pier are beautiful. I found a new type of seashell that I haven't seen before. Yesterday I stayed inside for most of the day, enjoying Chinese pirate copy DVDs, mature cheddar and Dr Pepper...mmm. David was out working (in Luxembourg, Manchester and Aberdeen), so I had to fend for myself. He got back this afternoon and is sleeping like a baby. But soon we will have to head down to coop and get something to eat, so that I have the energy to cram my stuff back into the suitcase and get the taxi at 00.30. Oh, how I look forward to spending another 6 hours or so at Heathrow...!
Apparently, the KLM flight isn't non-stop Amsterdam-Lima after all; we will be refuelling in Bonaire.

By the way, I've finally managed to upload some pictures from Australia. They can be found at

just like the other ones. I had planned to add captions about which poisonous snake the picture contains, but that will have to wait for a little while longer.
