Thursday 18 June: Pag

Ferocious wind (bora) in the night and it's still blowing hard in the morning- ironically from what seems to be the North now, which would have suited us just fine yesterday on the road! Earlyish breakfast, then into town for provisions, including the "world's best cheese" according to a bill board we saw yesterday - "Paski Sir" - about £8 for a wedge for two. It's sheep's cheese, and we've actually seen the sheep grazing on the scrubby rocky landscape on our way down form the tip of Pag. The sheep eat the wild thyme and lavender and that is meant to enhance the flavour. It's coated in olive oil for good measure. We eat this on a secluded cove which we have all to ourselves, which allows for some FKK style sunbathing and swimming, just up and along a dirt track and then a precipitous descent. We are creatures of habit and have our cheapest large beer - 15 Kn each - so about £1.50 near the reconstructed old bridge in the harbour and then it's back to our very high balcony via 2 lifts for nibbles....
