Lecce back to the start, Brindisi

15 Jul

After a nice breakfast again at SuiTetti we set off on our last day of cycling feeling like the past few weeks flew by. Our route was very straight forward back to Brindisi so we decided to go back to the sea instead as we had plenty of time, only about 60 kms. It was nice to see the blue water again. We also saw another old church along the way, built in the 17th century so Baroque but looking rather Romanesque. I am no expert but I have seen a lot of churches, basilcas and duomos in my travels.  Close by the sea,George was interested to see a large power generating plant which was coal fired. As we rode along we crossed the huge conveyor system which transported coal from the port in Brindisi, probably about 10km away!  Curiously the plant did not appear to be in operatinon whise we were there.
We eventually found our way back to the B&B and with regret began packing up the bike.  After packing up we went out for a last bit of sightseeing and a gelato. For supper it was back to the same restaurant we went to the first night; Siamo Fritti (we are fried), a fish place. It wasn’t my first choice (Tara’s) due to allergy limitations but we managed to get fed anyway.
Tomorrow we fly back to London then home the following day. 😢

Where shall we go next?
