It is hot in Croatia, so we are up really early and before 8AM we are up and running.

Last night, Croatia entered the European Union with a lot of fireworks. Today we immediately feel the result when we hop borders from Croatia to Bosnia to Croatia. What was a thorough check yesterday changed into a wave through today. Nice!

We head inland and ride across this beautiful valley. Fruit trees as far as the eye can reach. And hot as well!

We take a breather along the coastline near Karlobag. The views of the Croation coastline are stunning but after an entire day, they become a bit monotonous, we must admit, especially after having travelled through constantly changing landscapes in Bosnia and Montenegro.
