The rather strange looking building below is a barbecue hut. The previous day it had been a hive of activity packed full of people, but on this day it was eerily silent. Just the sound of grasshoppers.

| Venturing a little further afield, we entered a conifer plantation, about halfway through we heard the most amazing sound of hundreds of cowbells echoing through the trees. We emerged, blinking in the daylight in the middle of a herd of cows, all belled up. Apparently the local sport round these parts is cow fighting, this is where a dominant cow stares a more timid cow into submission. It's all to do with who leads the herd into the summer pastures etc. I didn't believe it until I saw a poster advertising a cow fight, but we were travelling at speed, so unfortunately I couldn't take a photo of it.
