We decided to go to Italy on holiday
I wanted to see Tuscany and Lenka wanted to be close to the sea. So we booked a place not far from the resort city of Viareggio in Tuscany. When I hear Tuscany I think of this:
And Italian food of course:
Supercars
I did not forget Italy’s famous automotive industry, so I was also hoping to see many of these:
Reality, however, is a bit different
This is the view from our window:
Queen of the road
Can you guess what car is most common here? This:
Or this:
or perhaps this?

Parking is never tricky…
Just like a bicycle, it is very easy to drive…
Maintenance is very simple:
What good is a car that can do 350 km/h on a road like this? The truth is that most time on our way to the beach we’re stuck behind a Piaggio anyway…
And after all, if you miss the curve and fall of the cliff…
well, you can easily get a new one….
