Unusual Means of Travelling to an Island

Ask a Question

Just watched a tv series called ‘Searching for Italy’ featuring Stanley Tucci. In one episode, he travels from mainland Italy to Sicily. He does this via a whole train that is transferred onto a ferry.

Does anyone else know of any other unusual means of transferring from a mainland to an island?

I don't know about travelling to an Island but saw lots of party bikes around when I went to Amsterdam a couple of years ago, it looked like so much fun.

HappyTravels you bring your own drinks, they store them for you, provide plastic cups, ice etc. Most people bring tins. The way you sit is like a table in front of you! Image

HappyTravels you might be surprised, pre covid they were in most cities! I live 14 miles away from ours (I'm rural) but always worth it and a great start to an evening out!

In 2016 Christo and Jeanne-Claude created a temporary artwork in Northern Italy. The Floating Piers, was a 3km long floating platform on Lake Iseo that linked Sulzano, Monte Isola and the island of San Paolo. It was constructed with 226,000 high-density polyethylene cubes and then covered with 70,000 square metres of nylon fabric. The artwork attracted many more visitors than expected, causing some safety concerns.
