90% Chance (Days Twenty-two, Twenty-three, and Twenty-four)

I am going to brush over 22 and 23 because not a lot happened. I saw Henry V in the Globe Theatre, which was very cool, and got a tour of the reconstructed Elizabethan theatre as well. I saw The Collaborators at the National (it's a must-see involving Stalin and a playwright switching roles.) Otherwise, those two days were pretty much uneventful.
Today, I went to Brighton...It was wonderful.
The very first thing we did was a tour of the Royal Pavilion, which was basically a pleasure palace. We couldn't take pictures inside, but the whole thing was Indian and Chinese inspired. It was done in a "Chinoiserie" style. Apparantly people can get married there. I wouldn't, but you can.
After the palace, we went to the pier and took in all of the lovely sea air. There was a 90% chance of rain, but it barely rained for ten minutes. Of course we were on the beach for those ten minutes.
We had an afternoon tea in a cute shop called Cocoa. It was a great end to our time in Brighton.
Tomorrow, Oxford.

Cheers,
Cis
