This was another big day on our London trip. William and Laura participated in a laughter yoga charity event at Victoria Station. Meanwhile, Verona went to Hove for a family gathering. After the event, Laura and William took a train to Brighton to join the party in Hove.
After a long day, we were trying to get back to the hotel from the Embarkment Station but it ended up being closed because of the heavy rain. Just before this, the passengers in this picture issued a complaint about the ticket machine not working.
Street scenes near Embarkment
Back to our favorite German bakery for another pretzel snack. We noticed that everyone in there was eating a sausage and all we saw were happy jaws.
We had to stop at the HA HA Bar & Grill
A candy store in the train station
The train ride back from Brighton
Wine in plastic goblets from the train convenience store made the trip seem luxurious

Scenes from the Brighton Pier (which was less than ideal to visit at the time since it was windy and pouring rain but we enjoyed it nevertheless)

You can tell that twins live here!

They have snack girls on the trains just like in Japan!

William and I were attending the laughter event in Victora Station at this point. Here are a few pictures from that. We have also posted a video of a fun song we sang at the event. Click here to see it at Youtube.
Meanwhile, Verona was having a great time at the party in Hove. Here are here pictures from the family reunion.
