Should have sent a poet

When in Lecce, there is only so much to see in the actual city. That’s why when searching the place on Google images, these magnificent photos of places outside of, but not far from, Lecce appear. One such place about 35 minutes from the city caught Erik’s and my eyes, Grotta della poesie.

The place did not disappoint. It was one of, if not the most beautiful places that I’ve ever seen, and it was filled with onlookers, swimmers, and people taking photos. It was also a great spot for sunbathers. The blue sea, with the clear, sunny sky made for a perfect backdrop. The slight wind provided enough force for the kite surfers, and allowed people to tan without feeling the burn to intensely. It was worth the 35 minutes of driving and then some. Erik took a jump over the edge, and he reported that the water was magnificent.
