&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
﻿ &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Your houseboat trip makes you experience this very unique thing. While sitting on the deck of your houseboat or while sitting in the spacious open sit-out area, outside your bedroom, you can see the people starting their day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Open sit-out area to enjoy nature!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;The room inside houseboat is really like a decent hotel having all facilities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;During the whole day, you will be served delicious meals prepared by your chef and his assistants. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Among the many interesting things which you can see in the day long journey, few which I am sure would catch your attention are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
