Boats in Venice

Canals are the roads of Venice.
On the canals there are boats instead of cars, taxis, buses, fire engines, amambulances and police cars.
Vaporettoes are buses, gondolas are carriages, speedboats are ambulances,fire engines, police cars and taxis.
There's even a fruit & veg boat.


Did you know:

- That 1 ride in a gondola costs €100?
-That Vaporettoes only go in the big canals because they don't fit in the smaller ones?

Hi Sammy. When I was in Venice I saw a hearsed bboat. It was taking a dead person to their funeral.
When I was in Bruges which is a city in Belgium that also has a lot of canals (not as many as Venice) I saw children playing on the canals on their own little boats - like you and Carmela with bikes and scooters.I think that would be really good fun.

I love your collage, Sammy. And the "Did you know" section is great. You'll have to post a quiz next time. Lots of love, Mummy

Hola Sammy, ¿a que Venecia es una ciudad increible?, a ver si organizamos un viajecito con los titos, que nos conocemos todos los rincones. Nos vemos muy pronto!!
