Kraljevica to Senj. Another day of spectacular Croatian coastline.

 Last night at the campsite was sitting down at the beach talking to some young Aussie guys over a cappuccino.The photo above was taken on sunset.  The campsite was a bit roudy last night with people and their torches flashing our tents to all hours of the night. And that affected my sleep. 

We got up at 6.15 to start packing up the gear.  Breakfast was muesli, yogurt and a banana to get us on our way.  Once again we started with a climb and then a steep descent onto the shore of the Sea. The only bad thing about this descent was it was the wrong way again, that meant we had to ride back up the hill.  The hill ended at he commencement of the expressway onto the island of Krk which we were not allowed to enter with bicycles. 

We rolled along for the early part of the morning with a couple of good climbs and then down to the sea.  This happened time after time until it was the Aussie morning tea break.  With a couple of nice treats and a cappuccino it was exactly what the doctor ordered.  We were ready again for more mountain climbing. There was one stage that we had to take our time due to roadworks and this slowed us up big time. Waiting for the light to turn green on the side of mountain in 40 degree heat was unbearable, but at least the scenery was just spectacular.

 The photo above was taken during our lunch break today.

 The photo above was taken whilst rounding another bend looking down into the Adriatic Sea.  This is the view we get to see every minute of the day.  Now that's hard to take.

 At the end of the day we rolled into the town of Senj and found a booking agency for apartments.  We were shown this nice place up on the hill overlooking the sea and for 40 Euro I thought that's a bargain.  The photo above was taken shortly after arriving in town.  We headed straight for the water and dived in with all the other whales.

The above photo shows Peter with his cap on cooling off after another hot day in the saddle.

Tonight we're going to walk back down the hill into town and get some dinner.  Might even have a swim.  Tomorrow's breakfast will be on the balcony looking out over the sea.  Just like at home.

Until tomorrow, safe riding.
