I want you love Italy!  Gondola's, many gondola's!  Take a walk throughout the day and late into the evening and you can find these gondola's everywhere.  We quickly realized that black was the colour of choice and the interiors vary.  It's very surreal to see these gondoliers attract couples, families and others to enjoy the gondola trip through Venice.  Sometimes you may get lucky and find a gondola with an accordian player or a gondolier singing "O sole mio".  Truly romantic and an important part of your trip to Venice.
