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.

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!

Cool job and I think their stripey shirts and straw hats are equally cool.
