I never knew such things existed

I just got back from a week long holiday in Wales with Ilana and a couple of friends. We went for a canal boat holiday, meaning you spend your holiday in a canal boat puttering along a canal once used for transferring minerals, chemicals, and other valuable trade, through the English and Welsh countryside.

While cruising along some of the most beautiful countryside I've ever seen we ultimately ended up at one of those things that rarely seems to occur to me these days where you just look at it and go "blimey, I did not know such things existed". This was one of those times. Now I'm all

for planning, and I usually read up on some things before I go to a place, but for some reason when Ilana plans a trip I just go with it and am just always pleasantly surprised at what wonderful things she can find.

She, was not as surprised as I, therefore, when behold in front of us the worlds longest steel aqueduct in Wales. This thing is massive and has just a single walk way and a single narrowboat canal resting upon it's massive support columns to travel over the valley floor.

Crazy.
