Boats and Yachts Around the World

[hkskyline]

The sight of the ocean and boats is quite soothing, and a walk along a waterfront can be very refreshing. However, I notice that the marinas and harbours of the world aren't very different from each other.

[size=3]The sight of the ocean and boats is quite soothing, and a walk along a waterfront can be very refreshing. However, I notice that the marinas and harbours of the world aren't very different from each other.

That is, with the exception of Venice. In this city, there is only one way to get around (with the exception of foot) and that's by boat. There is an amazing collection of boats for every use, personal, tourist, public transport, deliveries, emergencies services... In every other city in the world, DHL or UPS use vans, in Venice, they use boats...
