It was really amazing because thats one of the, I suppose, the most stereotypical things when you think of Venice and when Id been there the first time I hadnt gone e on a gondola because I thought aw, its too touristy, Im not going to do that, but my friends this time, they really wanted to go on one, so we went and we asked some of the guys, the gondoliere as theyre called, by piazza san Marco and asked them how much it would cost but wed forgotten that that day it was the 14th of February so it was Valentines Day and, as you can imagine, going out in a gondola is, is usually a very romantic occasion for a couple and whatever, to go off and be maybe serenaded by, by another gondoliere, so they sing all sorts of, of songs like youve probably seen on TV or heard in television adverts so they wanted an awful lot of money, I remember, just because it was Valentines Day, so there were a few of us trying to argue with them in Italian and you know, we were saying that it wasnt fair because it was just a group of us and we just wanted the experience so I think eventually they kind of gave us a more reasonable price so we set off in the gondola and went along the canals, the little canals around Piazza San Marco so it was really, really, really nice.
We got to see a lot of the, the backstreets, like I say, and lovely old bridges crossing, crossing the canals. Its a really unique experience as Venice is a pretty unique city really. There was, em, our gondoliere was pretty funny in the end as it turned out. He was very nice, and so there was a few of us from Ireland in the gondola he was asking us all where we were from and so as soon as we told him Ireland he started singing us a song by U2 which is a bit strange, not the usual song that you expect from a gondoliere but, em, it was quite funny, anyway. So, like I say, a really unique experience.
