Brindisi

 A short distance from the hostel...some completely deserted beaches with the clearest water. The rocks are also very fun to climb on!
 New Years Celebrations - Maurizio's (the 'boss') daughter kindly invited us out with her friends, so we were treated to some Italian wine and music next to the port over looking the water and the City. Everyone was very friendly and greatly enjoyed me trying to speak Italian!
 Climbed a monument in the City Centre and this is the view...overlooking the entrance to the port.
 A Christmas paddle in the water!...and a beer!
 A cocktail night out in Lecce, a 20 minute drive from Brindisi. This is an old Roman Amphitheatre in the middle of the City which was staging a nativity scene and all lit up with Christmas lights.
Exploring some old ruins near to the hostel right next to the sea and a popular place for people collecting some sorts of shellfish. 

 A pastry filled with nutella from a bakery that opens at 2am! It starts baking at 1am, then sells these freshly baked goodies at around 1euro! Absolutely incredible and lovely after a cocktail night
 The bar in the hostel, with the coffee machine...and I STILL haven't mastered how to make a cappuccino
Pizza from another incredible bakery that opens from 11-1 then 6-8. All freshly baked and yummy!
