Sunday Nov 2, Lecce

Fabulous day - warm, clear blue skies, biking with Baja Bikes worked well. Once again, as the shop was in a walking street Google maps kept taking us round & round. Finally we realized we were within a 1 minute walk from it.

Our new friend Antonio spoke English well and was very knowledgeable about world events. Had a great long chat with him both before & after.
We headed into the heart of the historic district - super crowded so had to walk our bikes. Decided to cycle all around the perimeter, and into some of the less busy areas. The historic centre is beautiful - larger than in Oria or Ostuni, with far more churches, sculptures and squares. Impressive. 3.5 hours later we returned our bikes & walked back into the city. Had a delish lunch over looking Vitoria Emanuel II monument then walked about some more. The pics capture some of the beauty.

By now it was dark, but Google maps got us home quite easily. We always use Cafe Kenya as our base - we know our way “home” from there.
Again wine & cheese ended our day nicelyRead more
