Day 38: Selce, Croatia



Stats... 101.31km in 5hrs 39mins. The weather was lovely and hot and sunny and we intended to make the most of it. We left by 8am and as it is Sunday the road was less busy which made for perfect riding. The road was slightly undulating hills all the way to the border as we crossed into our 10th country Croatia. This was the first border where we had to hand in the passports and got a stamp. We were a bit worried of being stopped and searched as the bag of washing powder we are carrying looks slightly dodgey! After the border it was downhill all the way to the coast which was brilliant. We followed the coast as it snaked round the lie of the land... it almost felt as though we were going round in circles. It was very pretty riding and only slightly up and mostly down! As the legs began to fail and the sun was winning we stopped at Selce campsite to jump in the sea and cool off. We walked into the village and enjoyed dinner on the seafront and chilled in the bar with too many beers til late.

"Happy Fathers Day" - Sunday 15th June 2008. Who could ask for a better day - weather wise. The scenery looks great but terrifying in the caves !!!.

Have a good ride tomorrow hope it does not rain.
