Perhaps my first experience of water taxi was in Norway. A small one ran from Maren's yard across the fjord to Arendal. Then there was the one from Laos to Thailand and back to Laos and back to Thailand. The last trip because Laos refused my re-entry. In Bangkok I'd ride the water taxi on the Chao Phrayra River, sometimes for transport, and other times for fun.
Today, for the first time, I rode a water taxi on the Mississippi River. It's a relatively new tourist attraction. Boarding in Bettendorf, IA., we stopped in Davenport, then crossed the river to Moline, IL. There we disembarked and visited the John Deere Pavilion. Re-boarding we stopped in East Moline before leaving the taxi in Bettendorf. It was a perfect day for this pleasant excursion.
The day began with a stop at the Clinton County Museum in DeWitt, IA. It's a very extensive museum and well presented.
Takk for alt,
