Besides hanging on the pier and people watching while eating cookies, we also went to the Royal Pavilion which was way cooler than I expected. It was designed by John Nash commissioned by King George IV, who was known for his extravagant life style and overindulgent taste.
I wish you could see what was inside the spectacular building! It looks so out of place now and I think it was quite the upset back when it was built. On every wall, banister, corner and door there was lavish oriental decorations. From the ceilings hung huge chandeliers being held up by gigantic dragon statues. Pictures were obviously prohibited. We were in shock at how indulgent the king must have been to decorate his palace with so much opulence.
We had a really great day, minimum tantrums, maximum apple eating and pigeon chasing.
