  • Ok, I knew it would be expensive to take a boat trip with a gondolas. But THAT expensive??
    100 euro for a short trip - was a bit more than I was prepared to pay.

    At Least Do This: There are room for at least 4 people, plus the guy who earns the money, in the gondol. So if you are some friends it might be worth the trip.
    But if you're alone...
    Alternative: Go around the canales instead, you'll see as much as you would have done from the gondol. Or take one of the bigger boats instead. Cost 10 instead of 100 euro...

     "Venice is full of gondols, so full that you might think that the competition for customers would cut the prices down" That's hilarious, Mr. Ibsen! :D Still researching Venice!!!!

     Beautiful photos. Just doing my Venice page now. I know I got lost here too, but I'm thinking you may need a personal GPS (navigation system) ;) it seems to be a habit with you :) (You know I like to tease)
