Then in the village of DH's ancestors we had the chance to see this herd of goats
The "shepherd" chased them off the street, so that we (and others) could pass

ReplyDeleteGreat views, great weather, cute goats!
ReplyDeletedid not realise that DH came from here, is it another of your homes or were you staying in a rental property. Love all those goats Anneliese, so enjoying this trip with you and seeing the places you visit, good to see places I will never have a chance to go too
ReplyDeleteHvar is such an interesting island. It is always wonderful to visit these old historical places.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of the goats.
