We took a gondola ride in the early evening. It was lovely. Izzy and I had a very nice time, but Chris was very uncomfortable, and because of that, the ride she had been so looking forward to, turned out to be disappointing for her. We felt so badly for her.
Our gondolier was extremely attractive and fit, which made Izzy happy since she promised her friend Karah, that she would bring back a photo of a hot gondolier.
The profession of gondolier is controlled by a guild, which issues a limited number of licenses granted after periods of training and apprenticeship, and a major comprehensive exam which tests knowledge of Venetian history and landmarks, foreign language skills, and practical skills in handling the Gondola typically necessary in the tight spaces of Venetian canals.
