Yvonne was rightly pleased with her bike effort and made it up the climb with only a bit of walking. The hills here seem to go on forever. As you turn one corner thinking this must be just about the top, another bend appears in front of you and your head goes down a little with determination. 27 gears were almost all put to use on this first real bike day.
We then had some lunch before leaving for a relatively short sail to the island of Brac. This island is famous for its' marble like limestone which was used in the US White House. In the town of Pucisca we parked just outside the school where interested people are taught stone masonry in the classical way, for 3 or 4 years. After dinner we visited the school and had a briefing on the history and techniques used.
