What luck that the days are gone when even cockroaches could be spies in unusual disguises.

But then, how different is it really today?

 

To this day I still have dreams of rooms like this. Always looking for a lighted, lockable, clean cabin with a clean toilet.

What a waste of precious dream time!

The Iron Curtain Trail (ICT), also known as EuroVelo 13 (EV13), is a partially complete long-distance cycling route which will run along the entire length of the former Iron Curtain. During the period of the Cold War (c. 1947-1991), the Iron Curtain delineated the border between the Communist East and the capitalist West, with the East being the Warsaw Pact countries of the Soviet bloc and the West being the countries of NATO. This image was made at the border of Germany and the Czech Republic near Waidhaus.
