The day between

Today we transferred by bus to Lecce, which is known as the Florence of southern Italy. Much baroque (read ornate, 16th century) architecture and a lively city scene.



Baroque church near our hotel.



A papier mâché art shop



Close up of one of the papier mâché pieces.

This region is known for its papier mâché art, and I must say it is impressive. Would be tempted to buy but I have no idea what I would do with it if it survived the transatlantic flight!



Enjoyed taking in the sights before dinner. Followed guide recommendations and went to a superb restaurant for dinner. My gnocchi was out of this world!

Off to Rome tomorrow!
