long flat boat,
propelled with a long wood or metal stick. The stick is pushed in to the ground beside the boat, then you push away on it, pull it out of the ground, and repeat so you are moving lazily down the river. everyone else sits in the boat and drinks.

gondola's you paddle.

You can see points of interest from the top of the Spinnaker. It is, however, unnecessarily expensive to go up the bastard. It's slightly cheaper if you're a resident, but then you have the embarrassment of having to take a utility bill up to the information desk. God, it's shit here.
