Day 46: Bilo, Croatia
















Stats... 106.94km in 5hrs 7mins. We were up and on the road by 7am today as we decided that the weather is so crazily hot we need to make the most of the early part of the day. As a result we had an amazingly fast days riding. We had our first ice cream stop after 40km and got to Sibenik having done 80km by lunchtime. We visited the UNESCO cathedral and napped in the shade for an hour or so to escape the worst of the heat. We were lucky as the sprinklers were on and we got a short shower. We carried on South along the coastal road for a further 20km enjoying the cool breeze coming off the sea. We found a hypermarket and we treated ourselves to purchased cold water! Kris also treated himself to a haircut after his attempt at cutting it himself last night with scissors went horribly wrong! We could resist the sea no longer and camped up on a beautiful viewpoint and of course dived straight in. Kris snorkeled for ages then we cooked pasta and listened to our neighbour in her tent singing and playing the guitar while the sunset.
