Waterways and Boats




Venice - September 25, 2009

There are a very wide variety of boats in Venice - no surprise there. The gondolas are the most beautiful and unique, but they are also extremely expensive -- so we did not indulge. But it's hard not to take pictures of them. Some are highly decorated, and the gondoliers all dress the part -- just for us tourists.

Some of the least attractive boats on the Canal are the public transit boats. They're like buses on water, and they are always packed. They make a lot of stops. At times, it seemed they were stopping every 50 yards.
