I remember crossing the bridge with my uncle who would take me to Shiroka. I used to close my eyes each time I crossed the bridge, I was terrified. As I got older, I started to like crossing that bridge, I loved the wholes in it which allowed me to see the green water underneath. I am surprised that it still stands, I would love to walk on that bridge again.bizelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215418979128537249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858228.post-21291712205104069142006-12-21T18:02:00.000+01:002006-12-21T18:02:00.000+01:00What fun adventures Traveller. :)

I could easily drive on huge high bridges without even thinking about it but this bridge (perfectly level with the ground) gives me the heeby geebies!<br />Anon... in some countries (like Albania) the thrill of living here is just that- we are often faced with things from 100 years ago!Miss Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755376182972818159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858228.post-35174650431786466692006-12-20T01:38:00.000+01:002006-12-20T01:38:00.000+01:00God Damn, it feels like I travelled 100 years back...God Damn, it feels like I travelled 100 years back in time.

Absolutely hated it and every journey was accompanied with prayers it wouldn't collapse right there and then.I hadn't thought about it for such a long time until I read your post.<br /><br /> And you are right Kim, the surrounding area, where the mostly gypsy population lives is a disgrace, so sad to see such deprivation even before setting foot in the town.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12957450789796439629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858228.post-17161907242742393562006-12-19T22:21:00.000+01:002006-12-19T22:21:00.000+01:00Well, that was a lovely finale. It's funny how man...Well, that was a lovely finale. It's funny how many things this country needs and the bridge is just one of them. <br /><br />You didn't mention if the deserted road going into Albania was through Montenegro or what... <br /><br />Anyways, I know the feeling of peaking your travel needs, when I did 5000 km by car through northeast Canada, this past September... I have reached my quota for 2006. I would definitely love to do that same road through Italy and Croatia at some point in my life though... <br /><br />Cheers,<br />~ilirITShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958814876642124728noreply@blogger.com
