they're zeppelins.

for a slightly more romantic view, i recommend Girl Genius.

cool!

though the manufacturers need some lessons on how to incorporate the enchantment and magick in to their designs...

there are people who build their own. i haven't seen any specially fancy homemade zeppelins, but there are plenty of people who make wacky hot air balloons, blimps and non-rigid airships. there are even people who fly with giant bunches of helium-filled weather balloons.

goodo. sounds like there are loads of adventurous options then.

Cycling for transport is awesome. Cycling for fun is even better :D

I love Zeppelins. So very, very much. It's a shame they died out in the 40s, I'd've loved to tour the world in a luxury zeppelin...

i agree - i think doing the Grand Tour by zeppelin would be wonderful...

[velitu]

it may still be possible. would that be grand!

indigo1 was saying some folk are starting to make them again. the details of course slip my brain which flatly refuses to hold onto such things no matter how i try to conjole it.
