After we visited the cliffs near Eastbourne, it was already late afternoon.
We took our chance to see whether the Bodium Castle would still be opened. It was slightly out of the way but it came highly recommened by SP's collegue. The medieval castle was built "more for show than for defence". The castle is surrounded by a moat, which is now filled with HUGE carp. If only we have our fishing rods with us!
The castle was locked up when we got there. Luckily, the grounds were still opened to public and we had fun looking at the hot air balloons which were going up nearby.
SP and I in front of the castle. It is so fairytale-like!
The fields around the castle. Notice the hot air balloon!
The ballonist invited us inside the hot air balloon. It was amazing!
