Sunday Day Out
Here
a couple of views from the car.
Did a family trip to Far Ings a nature reserve in Linconshire. To get there we went across The Humber Bridge. The bridge was once the largest single span bridge in the world and we where all very impressed with it that was till we found out it had put the city into millions of pounds worth of debt and we have to pay a huge toll to cross. To this day the debt is still outstanding .

a nature reserve, wow, that sounds exotic and beautiful. it makes me think of what a trip into the bush in Africa would be like. is that about the same?
we don't have any tolls in Alberta. but British Columbia, next to us, has. it was a bit weird for me to have to make sure we had change and stuff. definetely something i'm not used to.
the bridge looks massive. wow. it must be something to be on it. it costs you guys alot and i'm sorry. but it does look like a trip worth all on it's own.
(soooo happy Blogger let you out again :) ..silly, naughty blogger..as Dr, John's mantra went a few days ago, But it's free. But it's free.
:p

I thought that the Macinaw[ Not how to spell it] bridgewas the largest. The debt is done and toll not to high but I think the state paid for it. How ever the scenes were nice.
I just remember your not in the USA. We had a large toll at the beginning but we have a lot of traffic and the toll is now reduced. We had to cross before on boats and that took a lot of time to cross.

We pay toll fees on all our national roads here - it costs a bloody fortune and the worst part is the roads are not in good condition - makes you wonder where all that money goes????? Hope you guy's had fun at the Nature Reserve!

(your worth every language sweet, lool..besides it was weird of me, lol-even more than muy usual)
thank you for sharing what the family experienced there and saw.. the reserve sounds like a great place..i'm always telling Joe that you guys have access to so many wonderful places to visit as a family...we have so little of that here..we think it is because it is oil rich, the sense of community is not the city's first priority or second or third..
i would love to go to Africa and on to a safari..now that is something that no matter how special and beautiful i know it would be, the actual experience would just be, i'm sure, more than i could have ever expected...
