Do not go past the bridge!!! The road goes on forever and it was difficult to turn my van around. It was also pretty busy with the locals so there were a lot of cars driving around in the evening and morning as well. The view of the river is nice, but that also brought some bug bites for me. There wasn’t any toilet paper in the bathroom either.
