UNUSUAL WAYS TO TRAVEL

A STRETCH SCOOTER

This is a strange way to travel, because its a motorbike that has got a lot
of seats behind it, it has got 25 seats and to be precise its as long as a
tennis court, it is 72 foot long. It is called motorcycle. It is the largest
motorbike in the world

I think that it is a very interesting way to travel. When Im 18 Id like to

hire this motorcycle and go with all my friends around the world

BEER CANS

This is a boat made of cans, and it is used in Australia. It is certainly, a

strange way to travel. It is typical to do Can Regattas. It is ecologic as it
doesnt use petrol.
If I go to Australia I wont doubt of going on one of these strange boats.
Many tourists have tried these boats.

BURRO TAXI

This transport is used in a small town in Mlaga, called Mijas. Its a very
well-known transport and most of people that go and visit Mlaga, they go
to Mijas and try the Burro Taxi. Ive ridden on it and its a great
experience. I really recommend this new experience to foreigners or local
people.

PLASTIC BUBBLE

This type of transport has been used in Miami, although it hasnt been
very succesful there. A man tried it there and he had finished been
rescued because he got lost, he didnt know where to go, as he was in the
sea.
Ive never tried it , but reading this I wouldnt recommend this curious but
dangerous transport.

DUKW

This is a bus used in London and it is able to go in the water and on top of
earth. Ive read articles and many tourists have ridden on it and say that it
is fun!
I am going to London this summer and I am sure that I wont miss having a
lift on this bus!

classic was the camel bus.
Recently retired, this semitruck pulled a payload of
passengers on a sloped back
trailer.

THE STRANGEST TRANSPORTS

BAMBOO TRAIN
It is in Cambodia, Africa. Known
locally as a nori. Passengers sit on
the train. Basically just a bamboo
platform, powered by an electric
generator engine.
It travels at up to 40km/h. It is a
cheap way to travel around
Cambodia but dont expect a
smooth ride while you go through unmaintained railway tracks.

DUKW
It is in London. They are amphibious trucks that were designed by the American
army during World War II to transport equipment and troops over both land and
water.
Nowadays, you can take a trip in a DUKW in central London.The tour will drive
you past Londons famous land marks before it launches in to the River
Thames.
It seems a very funny way to visit London with friends or family.

Monte Toboggan
It is in Madeira. The Monte Toboggans
are moved by two men that push the
charts. They are traditionally dressed
in white cotton clothes and a Straw
hat. They use their rubber-soled boots
as brakes.

Monte tobogans were once the main mode of transportation for the locals of
Madeira who wanted to go down hill to Funchai.

CHAMPIOT ULTRA
Combining rowing with cycling, the
Champiot Ultra, a quad cycle that relies
on arm power to create the drive. And
it's not just for fun: the manufacturers
cite a long list of ailments it can reduce
the suffering of, including insomnia, gall
bladder stone... It is an ecologic
transport.

JEEPNEY
It is the Philippines. Known as the
undisputed king of the road in the
Philippines, the Jeepney is a mammoth
vehicle. When the American troops
pulled out of the Philippines at the end
of World War II, surplus jeeps were
gifted to the locals and this is how the
original jeepneys came to being.

TANGAH
It is in Pakistan.
A tangah is a carriage, sitting atop two large wooden
wheels (they are not too comfortable). Pulled by one
or two horses. They have a low-glamour, but high
fun factor and have become more widely used in
Pakistan for enjoyment.
They are used normally for tourists, to visit the city.
Theyre not the speediest way to travel!

STRAINGE WAYS TO TRAVELLING

Dukw is pronounced duck, are amphibious. You can take a trip in a

Dukw in central London and into the River Thames to get a view
from the water. Theyre the only way to experience the sights of
central London by land and river without leaving the comfort of your
seat!

Totora is a reed, which is grown in Peru, on Lake Titicaca. The Uros

are a group of people who live on the lake on floating islands
fashioned from the reed. They also make Barco de Totora from
bundles of the dried reeds, and these boats have become an icon of
Peru. If you visit Lake Titicaca, the Barco de Totora is a wonderful,
unique method of getting across the vast and beautiful stretch of
water.

You can visit the Madeline Island from Bayfield in the mainland by
ferry during summer and by winter, it turns into a two-mile highway
when the waters of Lake Superior freeze over. But when the ice is
not strong enough to support a vehicle, the Ice Angels are used for
service.

The tram pendan. It is in Germany. The Wuppertal Schwebebahn is

the continent of the only urban railway line suspension, which for
most of its length is 12 m (39 ft) above the Wupper River (10 km or 6
miles). Only the westernmost part works 8 meters (26 feet) above
the streets (3.3 km or 2 miles). This line can be called a
conventional metro line as it is very independent, urban and runs on
an advance 4-6 minutes

Beer Bike, It is a new way of doing

sport, while enjoying the surroundings of a beautiful city. The beer
bike is a car with a capacity for about 19 people. A good plan to go
with friends and meet a city. It is also a way to avoid contamination.

STRANGE WAYS OF TRAVELLING

POWER-PEDAL BEER
Passengers saddle
up and hit the tap
and the pedals at
the same time;
the pedalpowered idea has
popped up in
Amsterdam,
London, San
Francisco,
Minneapolis, and
other cities 'round
the globe.
It is an environmentally friendly transport because people produce energy
by pedalling. It is a great way to transport yourself having a good time

HOVERCRAFT
The heyday of the
hovercraft has come
and gone. Suspended on
a cushion of air, these
crafts offered a smooth
ride across the water.
This is the longest
running commercial
hovercraft ferry.
In my opinion is a good
way to travel into the
sea

ICE ANGEL
Madeline Island is the only one
of Wisconsins Apostle Islands
that is inhabited and it is
connected to Bayfield on the
mainland by ferry in the summer
and by a two-mile ice highway in
the winter when the waters of
Lake Superior freeze over.
However, during that transitional
stage, when the ice is not strong
enough to support a vehicle, the
connection is serviced by ice
boats with air propellers.
It is a really good transport because in one season is the only transport
that can work

CHIVA EXPRESS
The Chiva Express is a
bus that rides the rails in
Ecuador, taking
travellers up into the
Andes on a very scenic
route. The rails were
originally laid to connect
the mountains to the
sea but now the route is
decidedly for
sightseeing. The best
seats are up on the roof,
though the mountain air
might be a bit chilly for
some.
If I visit Ecuador , I will travel in Chiva Express. It is an ecologic transport.
MAGLEV TRAIN
This is not your normal train
to the airport. Not only does
it make the 30-kilometre run
in just a matter of minutes,
reaching speeds of up to 431
km per hour, but it rides atop
a powerful magnetic field.
Dont worry, it wont pull off
your wristwatch or swipe the
coins out of your pockets,
but it will put a thrill in what
may be the shortest airport
connection youll ever
experience. I think Maglev is
one of the best invents of travel, because it is very fast.

already you have what would be the most prestigious car ever.

Water car

The next car is a water model known as "Water Car", and like the car
driving road and can also fly, this car becomes a fast speedboat. It is
certainly one of the most exciting cars that have appeared on the scene in
recent years. It was manufactured in Southern California and is considered
one of the fastest amphibious car in the world. The price of one of these
models is about $ 200,000. They have created various types of the same
car passing through several bodies removed from conventional models.
However, in the end they were left with a sportier version is Python,
which has a body of fiberglass bottom simulating the shape of a boat. By
land you can travel at nearly 200 kilometres per hour and water can take
more than 50 knots, which are almost 100 kilometres per hour. In the

2.
COCO TAXI
the Tropicalized by Cuba of
mototaxi version. It is a widely
used means of transport in
Havana . Le called coco by having
the same shape as the fruit on a
scooter usually go very fast. As in
taxis, the fare depends on the
path and not the number of
passengers.

3.
CANAL TAXI IN BANGKOK
Bangkok is sometimes called the Venice of
the East due to its network of canals. River
and canal taxis are still an important part of
the city transit system and in many cases are
much faster than the gridlocked traffic on the
roads. This particular canal route goes right
through the heart of downtown. Due to the
fluctuating tides and some low bridges, it is
necessary for the boat to duck at some
points. The boats will slow at low bridges and
the canvas canopy will drop a bit, forcing all
passengers to crouch for a moment.

4.
CHIVA EXPRESS
the Chiva Express is a bus
that rides the rails in Ecuador,
taking travellers up into the
Andes on a very scenic route.
The rails were originally laid
to connect the mountains to

human-powered fun is the
Walking Bike, combining
shoes and bicycles for an
artful (if not entirely superfunctional) pedal-driven
machine.
