or the fact you can go from Amsterdam to the black sea fairly directly and from there to st. petersburg is even more mind boggling

  The fact that Amsterdam has a harbour in the first place is pretty amazing, it's not exactly a coastal city.

      I suppose my definition of coastal city is somewhat skewed since I live in a country that's only about 200 kilometers wide :P

      My favorite one of these is Iquitos in Peru, which is an Atlantic port, reachable by ocean going vessels, 2,200 miles away from the ocean
