To be literal that isn’t the ‘Stari’ Most as we all know what befell it, pardon the black humour.
It is rather the ‘Novi’ Most, or ‘new’ bridge, if you will.

Migawd, Tad. That's some wreckage. Liz would cry to see that. She spent hours and hours there with her two boys back in the day.

How old do you suppose this beaut is? You guessed 1855? Trés bien! Yes, this is the
Royal Albert Bridge designed by Isambard Brunel, he of the Clifton Suspension Bridge
and the SS Great Eastern, to name but a few. Don’t feel bad, I drove very close to it two
years ago blissfully unaware I was near to such genius. It looks like Klimmer’s friends helped, eh?
I also feel quite the fool just having found out I was just blocks from his birthplace in Portsmouth!
The Clifton
Believe it or not that is the River Avon below but the tide is out! The bridge is about 4-5 miles
from the Bristol Channel and they built the bridge so high so sailing ships could go to Bristol!
FYI, the 2001 BBC poll of greatest Britons placed Brunel second only to Sir Winston!
