Struck south along the coast road. Had a rapid initiation into the driving manners of Balkan bus and lorry drivers, which to put it mildly are severly lacking. A strong wind and many climbs around bluffs and coves added spice to the morning. Crossing the bridge to Krk Island we discovered a cycle path which would make any British road planner proud. Despite the sign showing bikes and pedestrians happing going side by side the path was too narrow to even push a bike along let along ride. The sprial staircase in the middle made it totally impassable with our loads. After some comedy reversing we just cycled on the road and life was much simpler. Trudged through the heat of the day to our campsite, which despite being absolutely enormous was full to bursting. After scrounging a plot we rewarded ourselves with a swim in the Adriatic from the rocky campsite beach and the hardships of the day melted away.
