Stats... 16.34km in 56mins. We had every intention of making today a long day however not too far up the road and disaster struck. There was a loud 'ping' we pulled over and our worst fears came true as one of Kris rear spokes had snapped! We were just on the entrance to Omis where we decided not to stress and ask someone where the nearest bike shop was. Unfortunately, the answer was not what we wanted to hear as it was in Split... where we have just come from and it was not open today as it is a bank holiday in Croatia! Typical. We set up tent in the only campsite in Omis which is very expensive and as there was nothing we could do about it today Al sunbathed and Kris went Rafting for the afternoon with Martin the skipper. He had an amazing time on the 5hr excursion which included jumping off cliffs into a canyon, swimming through caves and going down part of the rapids without the boat... intentionally! On his return we walked the injured bike to Martin and his wife who knew a keen cycling friend who worked in Split who may be able to help. He removed the wheel and said he would take care of it tomorrow and it would be ready for collection about 5pm which meant we have another day off in Omis. We cooked dinner and had a few beers and tried not to think about it.
