Julie and Anthony in the Brighton i360
Monday, Julie and Anthony drove to Brighton, to avoid the rain in Canterbury. On the way we stopped by Hastings Castel

We read the history of the Castle in billboards on the way up to the Castle.
At the top we were treated to views of an ancient ruin.
During a storm, the Castle Keep fell into the bay, also destroying the Hastings harbor.
The Dungeon, very claustrophobic.
We drove down to the Beach in Brighton, where we had lunch. While we were eating, Julie booked us for the Brighton i360, a tower on the beach with a torus shaped enclosed platform.
We got a panoramic view of Brighton on our way up.
Next stop Pevensey Castle, an English Heritage Site.
We saw the Long Man (or Green Man) of Wilmington on the hillside on the way.

B#### roads. Tight and narrow.
Julie drove back to Canterbury, her first time driving on the trip. Google maps put us on some “B” roads, this meant a hedge or wall on the side of the road. Often these roads have no middle line, and are not always two car widths wide. Julie drove like a champ.
