I will never go back to Venice, though I used to go there frequently. Our last trip about 3 years ago was disappointing: too "Disneyland-esque" with hoards of groups, high costs for any and every thing from vapporato rides, entry fees when there never were any, or they were modest, not to mention the run-away inflation in accommodaton pricing-even my favorite pensione more than tripled. Rediculous restaurant costs, for lower quality of food (of course, my favorite restaurant closed as the owners retired.)
