Say cheese

Cheese factory visit. Very barren landscape to get to factory, very white, reminded us of a moonscape. There were pretty scenes also, lovely old stone fences, fish farms.
The cheese production is limited by sheep numbers. To produce their unique cheese, the milk needs to come from the sheep on the island, and there is a limit to how many sheep can be run, as it is very barren. There are 30,000 sheep on the island, who are small, strong and are free to run in the paddocks. The sheep are not suitable for shearing. The paddocks all have stone fences around them, and the land is privately owned. Land is never sold as it is a family tradition to run sheep. Sheep have been milked here for over 4000 years.
Good factory visit, cheese tastings with wine for lunch.

To Zadar and see monument of the sun and wave organ monument.
To hotel and swim in Adriatic Sea again. Steve was stunned by having to share a small beach with many other people, we did it anyway and was lovely.
Temperatures still mid 30's.Read more
