And the tourist brochures pointed me in the direction of this bridge -- I love bridges, metaphorically and symbolically and structurally -- and it was a bit of a disappointment, because of the sludge from the river was encrusted on it; it really wasn't in use.
As brochuras turísticas apontaram-me a direção desta ponte — gosto de pontes, metafórica. simbólica e estruturalmente — e tive uma certa desilusão, porque tinha o lodo do rio incrustado, não estava a ser usada.
