Monday September 5th
Really, there is nothing much to say about today, as a good part of it it was spent on a train. As we had to be up before 6 and on the train before 8, part of the day was also spent sleeping.
Part of the train journey was very fascinating because we crossed Italy from West to East through a very wild and apparently uninhabited area of hills and forests, with just a few dirt track visible. Once on the east coast though, we were back into a flat agricultural plain where the main interest was in trying to identify the crops and wondering why the vines were all covered with plastic or tarpaulins.
Tomorrow, we don't have to make an early start and we're having a walking tour of Lecce, and there are Roman ruins and a museum to see, as well as Baroque buildings. The day after that, we might go to Gallipoli. But we also hear the weather is planning to be very bad, so we'll just have to wait and see.
