Lecce 1

Lecce - in the heel of the boot of Italy, and the most southern point on our trip. A relatively short train trip from Bari so Derek and I did an early walk taking in the little harbour and sea front (Bari actually has a big port and is a ferry point for many places) Train was at 12 (but left later due to delays - thank heavens for great cafes in the stations!) and we arrived in Lecce about 2.30, so we had time for exploring the old town after we settled in at our airbnb. It is one of the best apartments we have had - beautifully decorated, thoughtfully provisioned and a self contained bedroom with terrace on the roof! The old town was just 5 mins away, and it really impressed - beautiful cream stone buildings decoratve facades, lots of churches ( we learnt later over 100 in Lecce - but maybe that includes surrounding new town?) And pleasant and wide streets ( plenty of tiny winding ones too)! And a Roman ampitheatre - in fact 2! After a short time here we already knew we would have to come back!Baca selengkapnya
