Inside it quite luxurious with four places in the center, two facing front and two rear. Their are three full sized seats at the front facing rear while at the back of the vehicle are 4 seats appropriate for those of lesser stature. A human driver sits at the front and a pair of footmen stand at the rear, one on each aft quarter. Once everyone is aboard the footmen stow the steps and close the double doors before mounting up. With a cry of 'gee up' and a crack of his whip the driver sets the contraption into motion. Those used to the sea do not find the vehicle's rocking motion unpleasant, though the clatter of hooves and the roaring of the wheels on cobbles is louder than the sound of oars and waves. From inside there is a nice view of the passing city life. It appears to be an active place, but everyone wisely makes way for the huge carriage. In just less than an hour the coach comes to a halt and the doors are opened at the gates of the temple complex.</p></blockquote><p></p>
