None of the hiking on the south coast of Crete is on the flat, and much of it is rugged and at times precipitous. As you creep along a ledge, trying not to dislodge a rock or even look down, it's humbling to see goats cavorting high above you, leaping from rock to crumbling rock. Apparently their vocation is to eat and make us look clumsy and inept. We did come across a number of goat carcasses at the bottom of canyons however, and at least one poor billy stuck on a high ledge, although perhaps he was just taking a brief break from strutting his stuff, still taunting us merely by his ridiculous position.
