It’s increasingly becoming easier to fly quickly and comfortably to remotest corners of the world. While most people focus on reaching the destination, there are a few who like to savour the journey instead. These are the people who like to travel slow and easy. They like to spend hours watching the sunset or simply walking the length and breadth of the small town they have been living in for over a week. These are the people who do not bother with sea-planes or charters to reach an island. These are the people who find joy in chugging trains and swinging boat rides.
It is for them that we present here, ten of the world’s most picturesque locations to enjoy a boat ride.
