Alucinada me quedé cuando hace un rato miro mi correo y me encuentro con el email que os transcribo más abajo y procedente del hotel que tenemos reservado en Venecia para octubre. Como podéis leer, se trata de un impuesto que se cobrará en las ciudades de Florencia y Venecia a partir del 24 de agosto en los hoteles. Como si fuese suficientemente caro el alojamiento en Italia, ahora nos cobrarán 5 euros más por noche y habitación doble. Eso sí, si tienes la suerte de dormir en esas ciudades más de 5 días seguidos, no tendrás que pagar nada. Qué detalle!
