Croatia Tour 2014...
Re: Croatia Tour 2014...
as part of our 13 country tour back in september this year we rode from lake balaton in hungary, directly south into croatia, stumbled across a lovely little town called Bjelovar. stayed there in a nice hotel over night as we'd been camping for 5 nights before.
oddly there was a bike bash going on in the town as we rode in with fully loaded bikes and uk plates on. in an instant we were surrounded by very friendly bikers offering us beers and wanted to know all about the tour, we ended up in the local bike mag that week photos n all haha.
the guys and girls were very helpful in advice and told us we must ride the road from Karlovac down too Rijeka as were heading for the coast the next day. on google maps the road is just marked with a 3, it is truly an awesome road for bikes.
Rijeka is very nice it was sunny and the women are too beautiful for words lol.
we decided after to get the boat to cres island which was amazing scenery mind blowing,
i will try and find time to share more about our amazing eastern europe tour and all 13 countries, 4 weeks, 4600 miles just taking random routes everyday. pyranees, spain, and morocco next year
