Wouldn’t that sound good as the title for a book about a crazy italian spending his summer holidays riding around Italy on a Vespa?
The “why not?” factor is there, we’ll see if I’ll be inspired enough to maintain the proposal to write a book about my tour when I’ll be back home at the end of August.
The australian Peter Moore did just that since he wrote a nice book about his tour around Italy with a ‘61 Vespa purchased on ebay. Vroom with a view is the title of the book which inspired my incoming journey, starting from here in Como and going from town to town down to Bari in Puglia, powered by the desire to visit places of my country I’ve never seen yet.
My tour will be different from Peter’s one, starting from the latest Vespa model, the award winning GTS 250 i.e., to the best GPS technology available for PDA devices.
And well.. I’m italian, so I’m supposed to know a bit more about my country than an australian traveler!
“Are you going alone?” that’s the first question my friends asked me when I told them about the journey and the best answer I could find so far is: would you feel alone walking around your courtyard?
That’s the spirit which will accompany me in this tour: my country is like my courtyard, just a little bigger!

There are a lot of people I’m going to meet in this journey, some old friends and some new.
We’ll see what will happen.
I’ll be available by e-mail of course. My PDA will be my best tool during this tour.
Have a wonderful sunny August!

PS: I didn’t manage to release version 1.6 of EcPc as promised, but I’d like to leave you with an even better present: the Beta of the PC version!
This is a great chance for you to try the software especially if you don’t have a PDA!
