Lecce

Lecce is an attractive city, with attractive and well laid out buildings and streets. Our accommodation was just a stone's throw from Porta Napoli.

In the morning after a good breakfast I explored the centre of town.

That distinctive style of glazed tile roof appears on many public buildings around the city.

I revisited the site of the Roman amphiteatre where excavation now appears to be complete.

Then for the first time I took the trip up the bell tower of the Duomo. Great view. You can see the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.

As you traverse the six floors in the lift you pass the bells.

After that, siesta until dinner!

The four of us went to a quirky bar/hamburger joint close to Porta Napoli. It was fun. Great quirky decor, plenty of beers and plenty of food af a variety of styles. A fun evening. Thanks Keith and Julie for shouting!
