O Solo Mio Whether you live in San Diego or just here on a visit, if you long for an authentic Gondola ride Italian style, like what you might expect in Venice, you are in luck.  The Gondola Company of San Diego offer rides through the canals and waterways of Coronado Cays and while I have yet to take this ride, I am assured by the guys in the photo that you will have a truly wonderful experience.

There are various types of cruises but I am told ( by the same guys ) that the sunset cruises are the most popular and the most exciting. The cost is $115 for a couple but they have special pricing and gondolas for larger groups. So when you are in San Diego, experience ... 08/20/2012
