Gondoliers in Venice are so romanticized, it’s easy to forget they are working people, who have to do mundane things like clean the gondolas, fix their phones, and find places to wait for passengers.

Excellent point! I suppose in a way it’s no different to taxi drivers.
Exactly, thanks Kim
Happy memories of visiting Venice, although we didn’t go in a gondola as they were so expensive – easier to walk! Nice photos.
We also walked instead of rode. But I was fascinated by the gondoliers. Thanks Iain!
I love Venice! It’s one of the few places I’ve visited that actually lived up to its image. Great photos.
I agree with you. Beautiful, unendingly interesting city. Thank you.
Great photos. And yeah, they are just at work I suppose. A cool job though
Cool job and I think their stripey shirts and straw hats are equally cool.
Lovely photos! I think the behind-the-scenes life is always very interesting.
I agree with you about seeing behind the scenes. Thank you for stopping by
