I couldn’t believe it when my friend told me that she was going to Pisa for New Years’ – now. “Uh, it’s too early… or too late” – I thought. “We’re still at the beginning of March!,” I replied. She started laughing at me and then she told me this crazy story.
Get ready to discover a new way to travel around Tuscany. Forget the car, forget the large, fast roads, forget trying to visit a hundred towns in few days. Instead, rent a Vespa and live the Italian way of life! Did you know Vespa was invented in Tuscany? There’s also a museum you can visit...
