Cars: Gondolas

In Venice on Thursday Josie and I took a gondola ride. This was certainly a different means of conveyance than we had been used to in Italy. The original price was 80 euro, but we got it down to 70, because that is all we had on us. The gondolier was obliging, but said we would have a half hour, instead of 40 minutes. It worked out though because he gave us the exact same tour as we would have gotten for 80 except he was just rowing faster. Where it really paid off at was since he was rowing so fast we caught up to another gondola going at the normal slower pace, since we were stuck behind them we got the last quarter of the trip behind the other gondola going at the normal pace. So for anyone planning on riding in a gondola definitely do not be afraid to either haggle, or get a discounted ride since a lot of them go on the same trip; you get the same tour, just sped up.
