The safest pedestrian crossing in the world 😁

    Before we begin, a little warning for potential readers:

    In this post, we will not see great architectural beauties, we will not be delighted with cultural or historical facts, we will not discuss important philosophical topics, nor will we feel the freshness of natural beauties. I tell you all this at the beginning so that there is no confusion later, at least I can clarify this, if not some other things.

    So in case you decided to keep up with reading this post despite the warning, what can you expect to see today on my blog? hmm ... you see... wait until I try to offer something interesting, otherwise everyone will really run away at the very beginning and then that little introduction will not make sense and will not have a continuation.😂

    ...we will walk, quite far, outside the urban area, although you will not have to suffer from the cold strong wind as we did, you will not have to feel the length of this walk, walk on inadequate roads and have a small crisis that finally ended in a cafe as an act of survival. Lucky you! However, you can virtually accompany me in my search for pilates lessons, which is why this walk happened yesterday afternoon. I can also share with you a thought that walking through a city, a village, or a landscape can be considered a process in which you appropriate that place as part of your daily travels, and ultimately, you adopt it as part of your experiences that you will take with you even after leaving that particular place. It is also making little discoveries and getting to know the new environment.

    Another reason to walk with me would be to spot the paths of desire, in your place or in this case in mine, which are those trails that people make themselves through a terrain, marking them with their feet as a consequence of having walked there many times, even though it was not planned and designed. Do you have such desire paths in the city, town, village, neighbourhood or house where you live?

    I guess you do... but, do you have such a pedestrian crossing like I found in this walk?

    You don't have them?

    Then let me present to you the safest pedestrian crossing in the world!

    🏆

    There is no way a car could hit you as the road leads nowhere 🤣 - there is no road actually! If you observe the traffic signs you will think it was just a joke someone made this pedestrian crossing as nothing makes sense here, nothing! 😂

    good, I think you don't miss all those things I mentioned in my intro, as I hope the funny sight of this pedestrian crossing made up for the lack of other stuff

    And that is not all. Here you have a unique opportunity to walk on the bike lane - on foot I mean, without a bike as I still haven't brought my bicycle from the old place, I left it in my friend's home. We had no choice, no pavement for pedestrians just for two wheels. Although my husband was investigating the possibility of taking one of those desire paths to get back to the city; he spotted one person walking there between the shrubs. Yeah, there were several little paths indeed.

    The red thing we see in this photo is a skate park. But that is not the activity I was looking for to find. We went to one sports centre, located a bit further (and this was already the part of walking back) to see the activities they offer. I want to catch up again with the pilates lessons and another activity we are interested in is excursions to the mountains with the hiking group.

    We were informed about the prices which are quite affordable on a monthly basis but we would need to pay an enrollment fee which was 400€. It is per family and you pay it just once; for families with kids, it is really good, if all the family members decide to participate in different sports activities, but just for the two of us... I don't know, I wanted just pilates and hiking... I think it is too much and a bit far away from my home.

    Here I got the real sign that this is not the option for us - don't go there! 😂

    We crossed the bridge and went back to the city, the wind was merciless and from all this walking there and back I started to feel weird.

    From one moment to the next, I felt very weak, dizzy and sweating (but the day was cold) as if I had low blood pressure or a sudden drop of sugar level in my blood, I don't know. Returning to the area where the pavements were already suitable for our feet, and as you see the pedestrian crossings became normal too, we sat on a bench to see if I would feel better.

    Nope. The only solution to survive the situation was to recharge the batteries. That's what we did, in this way.

    Maybe I just invented the crisis part so we can have a coffee break. 😂

    no, I didn't.
