Tag: Boat Trip Travel Journal

When I take a boat trip I try to remember to add the “boat trip” tag to the post describing it. That’s just the anal sort of person I am.

I take boat trips for a variety of reasons. Maybe a tour book recommended it. I might have been tired of walking around and wanted to take a load off by going on a calming cruise on a river, lake or sea. Or a sightseeing tour I bought might have included the boat tour at no extra cost. Who am I to pass up something free? (Yes, I know. It’s not free. I paid for it with the broader package. Buy you know what I mean.)
