Water taxis



This post is purely a warning.
On our way for an aperitivo at the Hilton Molino Hotel and feeling a bit lost with the water busses and desperate for a cocktail, I thought a little innocent water taxi ride wouldn't hurt. So I ended up paying 50 euro for a less than 5 min. ride across the canal!
Yes, I did feel very posh, very important and very chic and the ride i full moon was beautiful - almost taken our of a Fellini film, but it's not worth 50 euro! Was is a scam?? I'll never find out.
But be careful with these water taxis (who don't take credit cards!) they quickly become a small fortune.
