#Familienausflug - vier erwachsene Geschwister mit den alternden Eltern. Nach Abendessen und Übernachtung im Hotel #VillaAugustus in #Dordrecht (sehr hübsch gelegen in einem ehemaligen Wasserturm, umgeben von einem Gemüse- und Blumengarten) sitzen wir jetzt im #Waterbus (einer regulären Fährverbindung) nach #Rotterdam.
Nächster Programmpunkt ist ein Besuch im Depot des Museums #BoijmansVanBeuningen.

The #waterbus is a #shuttle running the river #scheldt from the village of Hemiksem all the way down into the #harbour of #Antwerp covering 8 stops in total. Introduced by Port of Antwerp (the port authority) as a commuting alternative (Antwerp is one of the most congested cities in Europe) it is very popular amongst commuters and tourists alike.

Recently the Flemish Community took charge of the exploitation and to celebrate, the bridge could be visited during #openbedrijvendag a yearly event in Flanders where companies give an insight behind the scenes.

The (dutch) captain was very friendly and spoke passionately about every aspect of the boat. Very interesting!

The vaporetto (water bus) in Venice, Italy has a schematic map like a subway map.
Indeed, there are strong similarities in colours / fonts / icons to the iconic New York City subway map(s)…
It would be an amazing job, seeing that city from the water every day, and yes, I am romanticizing it of course!
(I had the pleasure of spending most of a Sunday every week in Venice for an Italian winter, as we transferred clients to and from the Dolomites, such an amazing, rich city!)
