Ride a Vespa in Tuscany Italy

“We headed out like ducklings following their mother, over the cobblestone streets and across the Ponte alle Grazie…what a thrill to be on a Vespa, riding across the Arno on a beautiful sunny morning. You can see, feel, smell everything so much more intimately.”

“Then off we went, everyone now feeling very comfortable on their vintage steeds, and enjoyed another hour riding through the hills and small villages before stopping, off road, at a vineyard where our guide informed us about the area, the vines and local wines. Then more carefree riding down winding roads, passing villas and hamlets and reveling in the beautiful scenery on our way to lunch al fresco at a hillside estate owned by “Mr. Walkabout”.”

“After my first couple attempts around the track, I think everyone was a little afraid I wasn’t going to get it (quick tip: turning is all in the hips, not the arms!). But not to worry I eventually caught on and we were zipping down winding country roads in no time.”
