Chapter 178: Honeymoon: Venice

Despite the avenue of faster motorboats and even miniature ships that could transport several goods in the canals, there were still at least a few hundred gondolas in Italy that were still left in good condition.

There were only a hundred licensed gondolas today. Most of these sleek boats were now kept in museums as heritages of the past and only a few could imagine one being used now.

This was now a luxury that only a few could afford compared to thousands of boat riders in the past.  But when it came to his wife, Loriel wanted to give her the best. 

It also happened that he was one of those few who managed to get a collection of gondolas. He kept some as a private collection while he let Marc handle some of it to be used as a tourist ride.

He loved preserving things from the past. He thought, if he didn't keep his hands into some of them, they would be gone forever and he would never see them again.
