[6 photos] “Whisper Boats” are the mode of transportation in this Holland village

How pretty is this village!

All transportation in Giethoorn, Holland (Venice of the Netherlands) is done with a “whisper boat” (an electric powered boat, which hardly makes any noise).  It’s run with two big batteries, which allows seven hours of continuous ‘driving’. In the old part of the village, there were no roads and all transport was done by water.  Now there is a cycling path.
