Yeah man, we were talking on how the Dutch people use all sorts of transportation to carry goods anywhere, especially the channels. It's sad that we have an incredible rirver system here that we barely use.
Now I have on my head the Steemfest and the Eurovelo, If I don't get out of my flat I'll go crazy.
Hehe great conversation that must have been! Did you discuss also why Brasil barely use the river opportunities? would love to know the reason behind that.
you discuss those topics during a walk in the forest?
It's a long long topic, mostly because during the 50's the was a massive incentive on automotive industry, including building roads and using trucks, that came to 'replace' boats and trains.
Now the trucks play a huge part in Brazil's industry, from companies that produce trucks, to the ones who produce tires, to the ones who produce Diesel and so on. That allied with an abandonment of the rail ways and small ports culminated in the bad use of rivers and lakes.
