IMG_2215Amphibious tour vehicles have been around for a while. However, most of the ones that I’ve seen are “Ducks”–the converted DUKW military amphibians. In Budapest this winter was the first time I’d seen one that looked like a run-of-the-mill tour bus–at least as it was tooling down the Danube. (Granted, most of my travel is in the developing world, so maybe these “buses” are old news throughout Europe and North America.)

No, that’s not land. It’s an island made of reeds that’s floating on Lake Titicaca. It’s a pain in the butt to live there because of the long boat commute for school, shopping, errands, or work. However, there’s no property tax because, well… there’s no property.
