A while ago I posted about the speedboat ride "Thriller" at bayside in Miami and how I highly recommend it. Well, here is another highly recommended thing to do...this one is in Ft.Lauderdale off Las Olas Blvd. More pricey, but believe....VERY MUCH WORTH IT. It costs 125.00. It's a ride on a genuine 100 year old Gondola hand crafted in Venice through the absolutely beautiful, calm, serene Ft.Lauderdale intercostal. The gondolier is actually a French guy...very nice. They are docked at a very nice waterside restaurant called STORK'S right off 11ave and Las Olas. I booked the gondola ride 2 nights ago knowing that I would propose to my girlfriend on the cruise. It was probably the most romantic, quiet and peacefull setting I could have ever imagined. We got a bottle of wine at STORK'S and entered the gondola with it. I booked it for 5:30pm since I knew the ride would take 1 hour and that sunset would be at 6:30. ...so it was perfect timing. Just the two of us...with italian music playing....only saw two other boats on the intercostal during the entire hour we were on the cruise. Twilight cruising at it's best. If you ever want to do something truly romantic..this is it ! here are some pics I snapped along the way and before I forget..here is the website ! Gondola Rides | Tours in Ft. Lauderdale, FL | Gondolier Mike

Congrats on your engagement! I'm assuming she said 'yes'!
That looks like a lot of fun too. Little pricey for many but for a 'special occassion' like yours, it looks perfect!
Best Wishes and she's a lucky girl!

I am not great at this forum, but I suggest someone starts a thread on recommended things to do as residents (not tourists)
