Day for rafting.

🐑👑 The Sheep Royal Family has taken over the road like they own it (which, honestly, they kinda do).
No rush lads, it’s just us humans trying to be adventurous while you casually strut like it’s the countryside catwalk.
Next up: dodging woolly speed bumps before braving the rapids. 🛶🌊
