More of the same today. More of the same amazing scenery.
A highlight for today was the 9kms or so of Bosina that I cycled through. This coastline is not all Croatian. There still remains a little sprout of Bosnia that you need to go through. There are border controls and everything. Unfortunately I didn’t get a stamp in mz passport. I forgot to ask for one. In general, this 9km stretch didn’ seem as developed as the rest of the Croatian coast. Many more buildings under construction.
It was a long day today. One of those days when I was thinking of the future. Too much of that carry on is bad for the mind, I decided. From mid afternoon onwards I listened to the radio on the small radio thing I got in Istanbul. That kept me going for the rest of the day.
I arrived in Gradac at dusk, and went for a wander along some of the walking tracks, looking for landmines to throw stones at, until I realised that I wouldn’t be able to see them. Probably more effective if I just rolled along the ground on my stomach lengthwise…
Hello!
Nice progress! I`ve heard there are some very nice camp sites around that lakes you`ve photographed.
Coast road through Bosnia is really nothing special, but the city of Neum can be very interesting and alive, especially in summer months.
Are there lots of unexploded land mines around in Gradac or they all spent ones?
Aunty Les, no, there are no land mines on the coast of Croatia. They are only found inland.
