An enjoyable trip via train & the bridge, impressive as it is, a stark reminder of brutality. - We took a short train ride through beautiful scenery to see the bridge. You can actually walk over the bridge (trains do still use the line!) and this is a great way to view the structure & imagine how difficult it was to build. We visited on a hot day and would recommend plenty of sun cream & you can buy cold drinks from nearby stalls.
