Day Trip

Today was a day trip where we loaded the bus and went to Bodiam Castle, and the Royal Pavilion. When we went to the royal pavilion (which is gorgeous, very Asian palace) we walked through it with audio guides and once through we went down to look at Brighton Pier.
After that we loaded the bus and went to Bodiam Castle, yes it is a castle set on a moat! So beautiful!
The Royal Pavilion is definitely my favorite palace I have seen thus far. All the others are too opulent with tapestries. What I loved about the Royal Pavilion is, he doesn't hide that he wants to look impressive or rich! He does so and he does it with style. The great dining hall had a huge dragon chandler!!! I love that!! Other palace's are showing off but in such a way that you know they try to make it look unintentional but its like duh we know what your trying to do with all the gold, chairs, tapestries and paintings!
The castle was very old and pretty much just an empty courtyard in the middle but it definitely is the old style castle you picture in your mind!
