You think your ferry ride is expensive?
A lot of neat looking machinery for a nice price. It looks like it just might be a very loud banjo.

This used to be the most expensive ferry in the world

Well, if you sort by GBP per mile, it cost a pound for 74 meters of water at low tide!

The most expensive ferry on earth is the Copenhagen ferry because the bar opens once it leaves port. The booze is duty free in a country with some of the worlds heaviest alcohol taxes. Many people book to make several passages so they can get good and drunk while going back wards and forwards between Copenhagen and Oslo. Please don`t ask me how I know. :laugh:

The Dane's version of socialism does a lot of things very well, but they come down hard on excessive alcohol use; quotas of so many bottles per month, etc. I have a Danish friend who tells me all about it. Like all the cold, dark winter northern climes, alcoholism is a big problem. They are a fairly practical country so perhaps their program really does help. Their higher education system is astounding... all totally paid for, academic or trade, including modest stipend, and you can go back to school as an adult. (Along with an impressive universal healthcare system.) What a stress load off parents that must be.

I often think what a great help while trying out dreams that don't come front loaded. There's always a price for nice stuff.
