This or something like it comes into mind when looking at (that means having managed to spot one) those tiny signs, marking a bus stop.
Luckily, this turns every trip you make as an tourist into an adventure.
The information is basically stating: at this very spot some bus may come going somewhere, as the information you see on the picture is all you get on the spot.
But I have to admit that you have such minimalistic bus stops like this in Germany as well. The other thing is that the hotline given is also very quick and good. But as a tourist without any orientation I strongly advise you to be prepared for you trip, which can be easily done via the translink website.
So I went to Newry on Friday after work. The city was lovely and reminded me of a place called Swarzedz…
Anyway, it was a nice to walk around the city centre and after having some yummy chips with gravy I decided to take a rather long walk to see some of the surroundings.
The scenery was 50% nice because what you can’t see is the other side which is a vast Industrial area. So after having seen what there is to see I had only one way back except the way I came there, so I decided to walk on the motorway.
As you can see I have no suicidal tendencies, the motorways in Ireland have a bike lane as well as a sidewalk!
Having walked for a while along the industrial area on the one side and lots of cars on the other, I passed an interesting spot which revealed a shortcut I could take. Would you?
Well, I felt lucky that day and I did use this, umm, „bridge“.
After having crossed it I must say it was more exciting crossing this small bridge than crossing the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge because it gave in a lot more.
That shortcut saved me enough time to get the last bus to Belfast just in time, YAY!
