I woke up and the rain had stopped… I even saw a stream of light on the workshop. I got up and looked towards Italy… the sky was black.
Upon arriving at Lovric, I was told that 4 of our members had walked to church for the 8 am service… the thunder and lighting had started and I knew I was going to have to go and get them. About 10 minutes before the end of the service, the skies opened up and the wind started howling. Off I went to church.
Luckily Loris, our taxi driver, was also there and I was able to text him to ask him to let my people know I was outside. Local people were fleeing from the church and jumping into cars… everyone was getting wet. I saw Barb with her turquoise jacket and told her I was here… she went back to get the others… Loris had just informed them I was outside. As everyone climbed into the car, rain slowed down and in ½ an hour we could see blue sky coming from Italy… it was going to be a lovely afternoon.
Silvana made one of her amazing salads… Chicken salad. This chicken is not out of a can, but grilled and then chopped into fine pieces… amazing!
Tomi arrived at 1pm and we were off to Pupnat. Pupnat is one of the inland villages nestled into the slopes. It has a 15th century church and some lovely old buildings. We spent about an hour there and then headed down to Zrnovo. Zrnovo is one of the older villages on the island and was first mentioned in documents in the early Middle Ages. It has about 1000 inhabitants and is divided into 4 parts. We walked around Prvo Selo, which means first village. Here we found old stone houses, courtyards, and small dry-stone sheds covered with stone slabs.
We headed back to Lovric by 4pm, just enough time to get ready for dinner.
Dinner was the national dish of Bosnia which is cevapcece, a small sausage that is made with 3 types of meat; beef, pork and lamb. I have to say, this is one of my favourite dishes. Silvana served it up with French fries and salad. Once again she had outdone herself!
