May 20th, 2022 We enjoyed a bit of a lie in this morning as we only have 35km to our Dubrovnik apartment with a 3 pm check-in time. We enjoyed a final chat with our German motor home neighbours before cycling along the coast road we had walked along last night into the town centre….
Month: May 2022
Day 55 – Gradac (HR) to Slano (HR)
May 19th, 2022 Deborah washed a few clothes out last night before bed and hung them on a drier on one of our two balconies. While the bed was comfortable and the room quiet, at some point in the middle of the night, we were both woken by a howling wind. While I stayed in…
Day 54 – Split (HR) to Gradac (HR)
May 18th, 2022 For the most part, we enjoyed a good night’s sleep until about 4 am when the wind started. It wasn’t a steady wind, but a gusty one. One second it was calm, the next as if a hurricane blew through, each time accompanied by something around the campsite falling over and occasionally…
Day 53 – Drniš (HR) to Split (HR)
May 17th, 2022 We both suffered a night of very little sleep. The bed was comfortable, but it sounded like the people upstairs were practicing their furniture removal skills from about 2 am until the sun was peeking through our window. Add to that the distant sound of dogs barking and a metallic clicking noise…
Day 52 – Gračac (HR) to Drniš (HR)
May 16th, 2022 Another 6 am alarm call after a great night’s sleep for me but a restless night’s sleep for Deborah. Apparently, a combination of barking dogs, cuckoos and humming aliens kept Deborah awake much of the night, providing the reader with insight into what I have to put up with 7×24 these days….
Day 51 – Jezerce (HR) to Gračac (HR)
May 15th, 2022 It would have been an undisturbed slumber if people staying in the adjacent room didn’t arrive at 00.40, but we were tired so went back to sleep quickly. The alarm went off at 6 am, and the bike was packed and ready for the off by 7 am. Thanks to the accommodation…
Day 50 – Tušilović (HR) to Jezerce (HR)
May 14th, 2022 As we prepared for bed last night, hoping for a good night’s sleep before today’s big climbs, we thought Friday the 13th was going to have one final say as the thunder rumbled overhead but before our heads hit the pillow all was quiet again. We had set the alarm for 5:30…
Day 49 – Zagreb (HR) to Tušilović (HR)
May 13th, 2022 Maybe we shouldn’t have started cycling after two days off on Friday the 13th, but here goes! We didn’t have a great night’s sleep, so while an extra couple of hours in bed would have been appreciated, when the alarm rudely went off at 6 am, we were already awake. We already…
Day 47 to 48 – Zagreb (HR)
May 11th to 12th, 2022 While we have had a few fun days off the bike since leaving Scotland each of them was less than relaxing. We therefore decided to take a break on the outskirts of Zagreb for two full days of doing pretty much nothing. That said, nothing has included: Washing our clothes…
Day 46 – Varaždin (HR) to Zagreb (HR)
May 10th, 2022 As it was a relatively short day at about 65km, we decided to have a slightly longer lie in bed, so when the alarm went off at 7:30 am, we were ready to get up. We hadn’t unpacked much, so the repacking after breakfast was relatively quick, so goodness knows what we…
Day 41 – Budapest (HU)
May 5th, 2022 Budapest is one of the cities on our tour that we have looked forward to visiting, so we booked into a city campsite for two nights and spent an entire day exploring everything the city has to offer, which is a lot. To look my best for the city tour, Deborah kicked…
