Our first stop of the day is to be one of the cheese factories, second biggest, on Pag Island. As it is her custom, Julie elected to walk there. Some of the photos she took along the way.

We are given a tour of the cheese factory. We all have to wear protective hair covers, vests and shoe covers.

We then go upstairs for a cheese tasting. We select a large platter of the standard and a small platter of the spicy. The truffle cheese was amazing.

We then went back to the hotel for the rest of the day. Actually, Julie went out prancing again. Some photos:

It is a quiet afternoon after that. Dinner is also to be in the Hotel but we are sitting inside this time as it is getting quite cool.
