Venice/Venezia

veniceI’ve never been to Venice/Venezia and I’m not sure that I want to – sounds like it’s almost always crowded and, though not on gondolas, I’ve been on a lot of boats in my life (I really do live on an island after all) so there’s not a whole lot of magic there for me in boating. Sounds like a pain in the ass actually, having to schlep around by boat all the time.
