Ask Italian, Brighton

Another restaurant visited while I was in Brighton last week. I was lucky to be allowed in. The restaurant was just about to shut the kitchen! Opt for a salami pizza. Follow it with a lemon tart with a scoop of ice cream.
 

Indian Summer Restaurant, Brighton

 

I was in Brighton on England's south coast last week and Indian Summer was one of the restaurants I visited. I rather liked the decor. Food was good. Prices reasonable.

Legend Hotel, Brighton

 

I am in Brighton for a few days and I'm staying at the Legend Hotel. Though it is gay friendly, it seems there are plenty of guests who are straight couples. Perhaps the term gay and straight friendly would be more appropriate. The hotel is clean and tidy. Carpets in hotels are often worn down but in the Legend, it looks like they place is kept prim and proper. My room is in good order and someone comes in each day to make the bed and keep the place tidy. Breakfast is good.  If you are coming to Brighton, I am happy to recommend staying here.

Durham Cathedral

 

Durham has one of the greatest medieval cathedrals in the UK. Building work started in 1093 but continued for hundreds of years after. If you are visiting Durham, the Cathedral is a must-visit.
