Stats... 133.12km in 7hrs 18mins... a new furthest day! Due to our long rest we decided we needed to get back on track so we were up at 5am and left at 6am not before having words with the very rude reception man which was not a nice way to start the day. Also, we woke to find a German mobile hotel that had appeared behind our tent overnight which was a blessing as it protected us from the high winds and thunder and lightening storm that lasted most of the night. Our first brief stop was at Makarska after 36km where very annoyingly we found a bikeshop! We continued for a further 50km to Ploce but it was busy so we went just past and found a nice restaurant on the side of the road that was in need of a visit from Gordon Ramsay! We enjoyed air con, chips, omlette and beer whilst the hottest part of the day passed us by. We didnt make it far when the beer caught up with us and we found shade by a river and slept for an hour. Unfortunately, the road was all uphill to the border to Bosnia & Hercegovina where we crossed into our 12th country! According to our map there were 2 campsites here but they failed to exist so we bartered with a miserable family for their spare room. Too tired to cook, we had a cold shower and collapsed.
