Someone told me about the documentary Venice Syndrome. I am afraid to watch it before our trip.
My wife already feels bad that she is visiting and potentially part of the problem although we are actually spending money in a hotel and will be going to restaurants for dinner...settled on Corte Sconta and Osteria Oliva Nera the second night of our trip...
You are not part of the problem. Venice welcomes and needs tourist. It's just in need of some control, especially the cruise ships. Great restaurants, especially Corte Sconta. Leave plenty of time to find it, or you will miss your reservation. It's really hidden.
