09 New Years Eve... Bridge over the River Kwai...

Al said it's Christmas and you have to experience the event, with Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz, bridge on the River Kwai... so he was taking me on an adventure today.... and started whistling 'Colonel Bogey'.... mmm not sure what that's about...

.

Well we started out on a long trek, seemed to take forever, until we hit the compound where we would be kept...

Here's the block, can't see the towers from here...










.



And the shocking accommodation we'd be kept in .  I mean the sofas don't even match,  Ikea, I think not!








And then onwards on our long march, carrying the wood to make the bridge an all....




Okay okay, back in the real world...  : )

Really glad I didn't get wet as I can't handle the damp too well... but it was exciting! The weather had thrown down so much rain last night and I think it all ended up in this river!

We found this bridge  just south of Bowmore



 
 
Then it was a quiet night for me.  I don't really do fireworks so Al and Sandy went off to the village green to see the new year in.  HAPPY NEW YEAR !
