About No way it would be possibe to pass here by car, just big trucks could be able to pass this bridge, because the wheels would fall into the gaps, so there was a big obstacle! Had to drive through the steep river-bed, which was amazing but dry, so how lucky, until the next one came and another one...;))

So dear Keith this would be a challenge for you, wanna try???

Have a safe day and enjoy your almost weekend dear friends!!! Jenxx

No worries he says...that makes me even more worried..loll
I did walk in front as well, but had to make photograps as well, isnt it? I meant your big trucks could have made it, could see some tyre signs in the sand...
And NOT taken a pic of me, being scared and no one around, afterwards its amazing these shots came out quite well, this wasn't cropped or anything, so my nervs worked well at the same time;))
So, here you hug and not at Trek?? wellllll..thats something;)) Have a great day, bedtime here!! Little hug, xxJen

Had to look for the word Daft..loll Didnt know it, now I'll never forget:))
Wished you had done something on these bridges before standing there in front;))) There were several like these and even worse made from concreet with huge holes, very scary:( Being lost is something, no people around there, no GPS working, what more adventure do you want;))

No speed here as the tires were too small, getting stuck in there would have been me still being there...noooo way!!
Happy you like it..any special subject you would like to see?? Just call:))

Sleep well, Jenxx

You wouldnt have liked it this way dear Bobotje, were totally lost, even GPS didnt work on way points..loll This was just one obstacle, many more to come!
Hahaa you would have liked to see the depth, I have some of the car coming down, it wasnt like steep steep, but for a Landcruiser it was tough, all the stuff inside and on top, really amazing, will show you later... I'd rather would have loved to see this on movie;))) Specially in between the next bridge:(
Sleep well, great weekend!! xxJen

Thanks a lot and sleep well, Jen

Was amazed too that these bridges did exsist, must have been an old bridge although made with iron, think there have been wood on before...
This journey was like long story, maybe I'll write it down one day, when I'm really old...lolll
Sleep well for later, its bedtime here, thanks for sharing and your sweet comment!!!

Have a lovely weekend dear, kiss Jenxx

Night my lovely friend:)
It was quite scary and most of all what do if stuck somwhere down? There was really nobody around there, no soul to help us out, we were lost anyway;))
Yes brave I was, for more then one reason... although very well prepared;)))
Thanks a lot for appreciating, this one big dilemma and its good to see it back myself,
hope you will be brave tomorrow and keep your credit card at home..lollll Just show me what you bought and have lots of fun!!!! Drive safe and see you soon, big kiss Jenxx

This has got to be the daftest bridge design I've come across in a while - and I've seen some daft ones! Guess that's why there's still work around for people like me!

Sometimes obstacles like this are best taken at speed. Guess you didn't try, though...

Great documentary shot - I'm really enjoying your tour of Africa!

Wow! amazing journey you really had.. amazing encounter with so many unfamiliar sight, like this.. I like the perspective composition of merging lines towards the end of the bridge. I see the shadow under, had there been an object for scale, down there, we would have a sense of depth. just wondering how far down it was.. great adventure shot! looks like scenes from an adventure movie...
regards..

From the thumbnail I thought it was a talllllll building but I can see clearly it is definitely a very old bridge and one like I have NEVER seen before .
You travel to the most interesting places!

Good morning my sweet girl:))))
I like this perspective very much!!!I do imagine you how you were staying on this side from the bridge and how lucky you were that the river was dry!It's always amazing which briges we have to cross on our trips Jen..isn't it? Sometimes it's really a challenge to crossing such ones...LOL!!But we are brave girls..aren't we??Hahahaha!!
Your capture is really worth seeing!!
This weekend I can't talk to you because I'm not here,I will go to Germany for shopping:)))!!!
I wish you a great weekend my dear!
Hugs and kiss,
Nicki
