I had a similar taxi experience in Madrid, Spain. Got to the airport, guy pestered me to get in his taxi, saying it would be 20 Euros, then ended up charging me 50 when I arrived. I was PISSED. That was like AU$60 more than I expected to pay at the time. But he convinced me it was too far to walk to get to the train. I took the train back to the airport 10 days later, and it sure as hell was easier and cheaper than the taxi driver led me to believe.
I hate people who try to rip off tourists.
When I travel, I usually like to do so with no specific plan of what I'm going to do when I get there. Then I don't get pissed off if something goes wrong. Having said that, I have a fairly scheduled plan for Great Europe Trip 09-10, because there are shows I wanted to see in London and Cardiff. But whilst flights are booked for other destinations, I don't have specific plans for what to do when I get there. :)
