We returned to the island of Brac for a ride from Pucisca to Postira through hillsides covered with olive orchards. Apparently there are over 1 million olive trees on this island alone. The trees, some of them hundreds of years old, are pruned so that the olives can be picked by hand. Our friend at our Brac apartment said that the healthiest and most productive trees allow space for the birds to fly through. We stopped for a bocce break at the top of the ridge, played some Rolling Stones, then rode into Postira, which was a little like a homecoming for us since we had morning walks and evening dinners here during our stay with our German family. We knew exactly where to go for an afternoon swim.
