Curry Leaf Café

If you love Indian food you should reserve a table at the Curry Leaf Café in Brighton, United Kingdom. The restaurant located in ship street received many awards over time and was named one of ‘UK’s Best 19 Indian Restaurants‘ by the Olive Magazine. It is a very colourful and well decorated place and if you enjoy spicy dishes this really is your place to be. Already their starters would be enough to get me there – the chicken tikka is fantastic.

Seafront

The HolidayInn Brighton Seafront is no extraordinary beauty, but it has one strong advantage: its location. You can find it at the Brighton city beach directly next to the British Airway i360 (the giant asparagus damaging the coastline) and the ruins of the West Pier. It is easy to find and it’s only a tiny walk to the water of the English channel. The hotel is a classic HolidayInn hotel and comes with a good bar and full English breakfast.

Harrods

It has been a while since I‘ve been to Harrods in London, United Kingdom. But why would you like to visit a luxury warehouse as a tourist? It‘s the special atmosphere and the different sections which all have a different interior design. And it is a pleasure to stroll through the food zone and have a look at the offering.

Memorial Fountain

My generation will always remember the night of August 31st, 1997 when Diana, Princess of Wales died in a car crash in Paris, France. You didn’t need to be a Yellow Press reader or a fan of the Royal Family to emotionally get involved into this. The whole story of her and Prince Charles separating but not getting divorced (letting her stay the potential future queen), caring together about their sons and then this special kind of death – with many theories around it – made it a topic discussed in wide general public.
