I had a sandwich and tea at my favorite place just beneath the Kiosk where I lost my wallet. Behind me a couple was sitting and the woman's phone rang; I heard her saying "I'll call you later I am in a business meeting " ! I had to laugh because sitting at the seafront in a café with a boyfriend is not really a business meeting unless the lady has a special job !
The seagulls were diving on the sandwiches and managed to take a whole sandwich from one of the two ladies sitting in front of me ! They were so surprised and so was I. Then I met two ladies from London who complained about the children throwing stones at the seagulls. I told her to give them bread instead a stone and watch what the seagulls would do, and then of course we laughed, because she had done so and was bitten in one finger quiet badly. We talked about Europe and the new immigrants from the Eastern countries and finally discovered that all European countries have the same worries about jobs and money.
After nearly 2 h I left them and decided to take the Eastbourne sightseeing bus, which I had never done.
It was a beautiful tour up to Beachy head and the beginning of the South Downs National Park. At one moment there was a whole class of Japanese teenagers stepping into the bus and they all had an Ipad to take pictures, which looked rather funny. Unfortunately as all teenagers of the world they chatted like a bunch of geese and I could hardly hear the explanation of the tour. But I did the tour twice as it was so nice to sit on the upper deck, enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful landscape, it was the same price I could have started in the morning and sit on the same bus the whole day !
This evening my face looks like a ripe tomato !
