Yes, I dared to do it...I drove a scooter in Italy, and it was...amazing!! I headed up to Firenze, a bit calmer than Rome at least where roads are concerned, with my friend Michael. We walked up to the scooter rental place, both feeling a bit nervous, especially after the rental guy had repeatedly told us how important it was to have scooter riding experience. And yes. We had none.
But we decided to proceed and exaggerate our scooter riding experience, got the motorini and headed off, map in hand, to explore Tuscany on two wheels. At first, it was a bit scary, but it felt just like riding a bike. We were just going a bit faster than on a bike...as Michael reminded me ;-)
Once we braved our way out of Firenze, we headed to Chianti country where we drove through vineyards, olive groves, up to deserted castles and on dirt roads covered with fall leaves. It was truly truly incredible and one of the most amazing experiences that I have had this year!

| Of course, we drank Chianti wine, which our waiter informed us was made from grapes grown in the field next to the restaurant! |

| We finished our day with some hot chocolate and shopping in Florence :-) |
Oh wow...again, wow. So incredible. You look really good on that scooter! Florence is beautiful, Chianti in the fall is breathtaking, and that glass of wine looks sooooo good!
