We didn’t see much of Lecce last night as it was dark when we arrived and we were all a bit worn out with the travel.
Once up, we headed off out for some sightseeing, stopping en route for coffee and pastries for breakfast
We made short work of those and then headed off towards the Duomo. Lecce is a lovely town with an abundance of churches and a Roman amphitheater
And after a morning walking around in the sunshine we eventually stopped for refreshments.
We walked back to the Airbnb to have an afternoon relaxing and playing cards before heading out for our evening meal. On the way back we passed what looked like a branch of the U.S. Lecce club shop. Lecce are 17th in Serie A so currently equivalent to Newcastle United in the Premier League
We ended up at an excellent restaurant
With a good supply of gin
And a nice version of the rosebud for luck which appears everywhere in Lecce
Tomorrow we are off on a food tour
