Sometimes you can't wriggle out of spending dosh. Either grin and bear it or make the best of it.

At Least Do This: So here are the tips to keep the price of a gondola trip down to a level that means you won't need to take out a second mortgage :
1) Don't go after a rainy day - there is pent up demand.
2) Find a quiet canal area with only a couple of gondaliers - they don't want others to know your haggled price.
3) Avoid firms with ticket booths etc
4) Avoid the Heavily tourist-infested areas. Back canals are more interesting anyway
5) Try in the early evening - they may have had a poor day
Alternative: 1) Divorce
2) Dump the girlfriend
3) Develop violent sea-sickness
4) Take a boat without consent in the dead of night and learn to punt pronto!
Basically there is no alternative!
