Have you ever thought of spending the night inside a bridge? It may sound strange; but for the caravans crossing the Malabadi Bridge, rising over the Batman River, it was perfectly ordinary… Rooms built into the bridge’s piers gave shelter to weary travelers and to the keepers who awaited them. So here a bridge does not merely join two banks; it is also an inn, a way station, a refuge.
