5 May 2022 I have the feeling today’s date means something. It is significant. I am at a loss as to why it might be important. “To be able to forget means sanity.” ― Jack London Up early. Breakfast provided. Only two trips to the buffet and the plates are small. I am self control….

Day 144 – Biograd na Moru
4 May 2022 Up early. Oats for breakfast and we are away. 55 km today and no real hills. We are on the EV8 for most of the journey. Biograd na Moru is a coastal village about halfway to Zadar. A good stopover. I am confused as to why today’s ride is scheduled for 4h…
Day 143 – Šibenik
3 May 2022 We get an early start. Long ride today, over 60 km. Not much elevation, we hug the coast for the most part. Šibenik was not really on our list of places to visit, but some research indicates it is a nice spot. Can you see so much stunning coastline that it becomes…
Day 141 & 142 – Omiš
1 – 2 May 2022 Omiš deserves its own post. I had every intention of making the usual daily post. I got caught up in a book. Could not put it down. By the time I finished, it was too late to post. Requiem for a Dream is excellent. Hubert Selby Jr writes in similar…
Day 140 – Zagvozd
30 April 2022 Happy birthday, Nan. Just a quick note for today. We are camping and I forgot to charge the laptop. A very short ride, only 16 km. There were some tough hills today. Shell was back in form, making quick work of them. On the way to the campsite there is a man…
Day 139 – Lazy Days
29 April 2022 Sleep in. Late breakfast. Much cooking is planned today. First, we have a few things to see around Imotski. There is Blue Lake and the football stadium. It seems strange the stadium is worth seeing. The butcher shuts at 12.00 pm each day. We grab some rump steaks for lunch and a…
Day 138 – Imotski
28 April 2022 We shorten our ride today. We need to detour to get some kuna before we hit the campsite and both of us need a short ride after yesterday. Especially Shell. She is definitely not one hundred percent. We set a 20 km ride to Imotski, just over the border in Croatia. It…
Day 117 & 118 – Trains and a ferry
7 – 8 April 2022 7 April 2022 Trains all day. I like trains. Trains with bikes are a little tougher. Only some trains take bikes. Only some of the trans that take bikes have spaces for bikes. Only some of the trains that take bikes don’t have steps to get on and off. Complicated….
Day 116 – Cleared for departure
6 April 2022 I am reading yesterday’s post. So many errors. I won’t change them. They will be a reminder to not post after drinking. Blue skies. Rain forecast. Drop the washing at the laundry and head to the new regular for coffee. I am in a bad mood. I drank too much yesterday and…
