We got up to find the hot water working so for the first time we could all have a hot shower! We decided to go to the large market which opens twice a week “Mercator Bisettimanale”. It’s a huge outdoor market but really for the locals rather than tourists
After wandering around aimlessly for a while we remembered that the bus out to the market continued on its journey to San Cataldo which is on the Adriatic Coast. So the plan for the day underwent a brief review and we headed out to the coast, to San Cataldo
It’s a small seaside resort, reaching end of the. season so it was quite quiet. We had a drink overlooking the beach and then lunch at La Casa Blanca.
We all enjoyed the trip out and were back in Lecce city centre by early afternoon. The bus journey back passed by a stadium which I can only assume is where Lecce play.
Having seen the stall selling their souvenirs we had also walked past their club shop yesterday
So it seemed fitting to see the stadium too. I’ll keep a closer eye on their fortunes in Serie A from now on.
Once off the bus we had a short walk through a park (Giardini Piblici Giuseppe Garibaldi) to get back to our Airbnb. Nice water feature although I’m not sure I positioned this selfie well in relation to it
It was still early so we all had a nap, played a few hands of bridge and relaxed before heading off out for dinner.
We chose a traditional Italian restaurant (Er Polpetta) and would thoroughly recommend it
Tomorrow we return to Brindisi for the day before heading home
