Cycling Denmark to China: Goodbye Croatia!

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

The time have come where I will be leaving Croatia behind and moving into Montenegro! But what an awesome time it had been in this beautiful country. Here's some pictures and stories from the last two days of Croatia:

The road took me through some of the inland, where I had a beautiful view over the surprisingly many lakes that lurked between the mountains.

After biking from the north to the south of this magnificent country, I can now say for sure that the coast is like this all the way, with mountains makings its way down to the coast. It creates a challenging terrain, but also very rewarding and fun to cycle in.

Apparently Bosnia have like 15 km of coast, cutting Croatia in two. so I pretty much had a quick in and out through Bosnia, does that count as a crossed country? I think so yes.

The sun starts to settle and I started to look for a place to sleep, however the day still had a small gift for me(quite literally small)...

My first puncture of the trip! Wait did I say first? I also ment second! Because this small sucker managed to go unnoticed the first fix, so it stayed for a second round. Funny how I just talked with a person earlier and we agreed that I will probably not be seeing a puncture for the next 1000km... so much for pretending to be an expert.

So I guess that's it of Croatia! I will probably also make a post about my favorite moments and pictures from the tour through Croatia, I think it's always nice to do when finishing off a country! Have a great weekend everybody!

Stay awesome!

Appreciate that! :) cheers!

Looks amazing as always, you have good eye for photography and editing! Unbelievably I didn't get a flat for more than 2000 miles when I started cycling despite some of the road surfaces not being great here. However I've had 3 in the last few months to make up for it!

Yeah I think I was just unlucky to be honest, sometimes all needed is to land on the nail in the haystack. Thank you very much though! @captaincanary is there anyway I can contact you about a few questions? Maybe you can mail me or something? Mail: [email protected]

Everything is great!

Thank you and good luck!)

Now, that's a lot. The most I cycled was about 40km. But it looks like a great trip so I guess it's worth is. :D

Haha yeah I don't think I ever passed 25km on a bike before this trip. Now I do 85km a day almost! Anything is possible it seems! :)
