Yes, we took a ride in the gondola--a 'must do' when visiting Venice. We couldn't get our too-cool-for-school gondolier to sing for us, so we just made our own noise in our best italian accents. No matter how jaded and travel worn you are, a good gondola ride has the ability to take your imagination back to a time before motorboats when this was the method of transportation. It's a unique experience that you won't find anywhere else (besides Vegas).On a related note, my uncle works at a railyard and he tells me it's pronounced gon-DOL-a, not GON-dol-a. Our gondolier didn't have much to say about this either.
