While we were over there earlier in the year they told us the country was prepared to house all of it's citizens in fall out shelters with those tunnels. Not sure if that's true, but if so, those tunnels must be pretty big and well stocked. We also noticed that the airfields and runways were all digused to look like farms from the air. No multi-story car parks, just bunkers with grass on the roof and cows roaming over the landing strips.

Incredibly beautiful place though. Here's a couple of pics I took back in May to keep us dreaming while we wait for Neil's media onslaught to reach us. :-)

You've got us all jealous Jac! Keep it coming!
