I didn’t particularly like the campsite and nor did the Dutch couple who camped near me. They left just before me – to find another campground closer to Villach. There was nothing I could see on Google yesterday but they located one. Google Maps has been generally untrustworthy in Europe. Sometimes places don’t exist, sometimes …
Today’s ride on Komoot And Part 2 Tarvisio was quite touristy but the tourists were generally older people on eBikes. It’s beautiful but it’s not my kind of place. Leaving was therefore easy. I didn’t even stop for my last macchiato in Italy. I did meet a Polish family cycling with their kids. I’m always …
Today’s ride on Komoot Minou and I caught the 5:49am train from Ljubljana to Trieste. (I’d caught this train more than a year earlier, with Dennis and Franklin as we escaped the flooding in Slovenia. We thought Italy would be drier but we were soon dodging the floods there too). Luckily, the room we had, …
Today’s ride on Komoot -1 Today’s ride on Komoot -2 Frustrating was the word of the day and as a result there aren’t many pictures. I left the mega campsite in Vrsar and took the nice path into Vrsar before taking a busy road towards Porec. I wanted to camp about 40kms up the road …
Today’s ride on Komoot I toyed with the idea of staying an extra day in Pula, but the hostel was booked out due to a conference. So I said goodbye to Greg, the 75 year old legend and headed into town for some breakfast. I had a nice ride along the coast to look forward …
Today’s ride on Komoot A very easy day today which consisted of a 25km ride to Preko, a ferry to the mainland and a few kms into Zadar. From there I got the catamaran to Pula. I had intended going to some other islands on the way, but it was too complicated and I would …
Today’s ride on Komoot I got away on time and commenced the ugly exit from Split. Speaking of Split, when I arrived yesterday, it was another one of those “Selfie Sticks at ten paces” types of places. It was nice-ish but full of tourists. I had booked a room without realising that it was a …
There was too much talking this morning – such a great place. I thought about staying another night but the lure of camping on a Croatian island was too much. It’s only three days to Dubrovnik. (Note from future self – you’re dreamin’) I rode through the village of Oblikë, got some food but there …
Today’s ride on Komoot – part 1 Today’s ride on Komoot – part 2 Another late start, but this time it was because I was hanging out with some great people. I had dinner last night with Tom and Sophie and this morning, two english girls arrived at the camp. They’d been bushwhacking across the …
Today’s ride on Komoot I needed an early start today because I wanted to catch the 1pm ferry from Fierze to Koman along the lake. There’s only one ferry per day, so I needed to make it on time. I was away by 8am which was a shame because they included breakfast at the hotel …
