Gondola ride in Venice Italy

Well, the rest of the train ride was good till the end. There was a family of five sitting across from us there oldest daughter was sitting beside me. The second stop is also called Venice but there is a different name after it so they asked if this was the Venice station they needed we said no. So we are sitting and wating. Next thing they are rushing the sings on the train say the stop we need so we are all rushing to get off. There was a couple sitting under our bags and the had hurd us and they explained that this was not our stop they just changed the signs for the next stop. At this point the family was off and the train was moving. so we did get off at the right stop. You need to take a bus, but no normal bus a water bus. It was 7€ . And it was awesome. So we get off and fallow the directions they were good directions. We arrived and cross the private bridge over a Canale.
It was sunny and calling for the rain that night and morning so we went right out to explore.  Explore we did. We had a couple guys ask about gondola rides but they all wanted 80€ so we sadly passed. We got talking with one driver and he offered 60€ and they do not run in the rain. So we went for it.  Sometimes you have to splurge.
Was it ever worth it. Oh back track on our walk we got a small bottle of wine like the size of a beer bottle. So as we were getting on he said you are all set with your bottle of wine.
So we opened our wine it was a twist off top. It was an amazing thing to sip wine and cruise along.
Oh dad we got to see the watershed from the Italian job oh ya so cool.
From there we just walked more found a Chinese restaurant had dinner went back to the hostel.
