Vexing Vespas
Day 26 Poggobonsi We arrive in Poggibonsi by train. The place has little to commend it except for that it has a train station which we need in order to access the wine region that surrounds it. Our plan is to hire some Vespas and tour the Tuscan country lanes and wineries, sounds idyllic. We have booked a very cheap hotel that is close to the …

This is what I been seeing in ...

This is a top pick!
... I don't think I have ever tasted better chocolate ice cream than this one.
