Some days are a little bit more of a challenge …

Overcast and a small rain shower as we leave Tribunj.  A quick 20km ride into Sibernik … maybe we should have stayed there tonight.   Lovely old town, with shiny cobblestones and windy alleys. 

The tourist office assistant was not there for her personality. Grumpy!, when we asked for a map, explaining we are on bikes.  At least I saw the funny side of it.  Asking the best/safest way to Split, you shouldn’t be riding at all to Split ‘at your age!’ Then a snide remark when she saw my shiner of an eye, ‘look at you!’  Oh dear, we were definitely taking up her screen time!!!

The rain shower was still hanging around, the mapped route was very hilly … but nothing we haven’t done before.

The 12pm bus wouldn’t take us with the bikes … the train??? Only fold up bikes.  Back to the bus station … the 1pm bus will take us.

The bus trip was along the coast … beautiful views and towns and very relaxing.

Split is very busy, a big harbour, a cruise ship is in and many other craft with tourists.  I’m not so sure, too big. 

Off to the beach, there is sand ‘by Croatian standards’ dark in colour but soft on the feet as I head into the water the wind has picked up and a little choppy, but all the same refreshing.

Off to discover the town, the sun has set, and options for island hopping, wonderful lady at tourist office … extremely helpful. Same issues with bikes on ferries, however she phoned a company who will take bikes … yeah, we can put some plans in place. 

The old town is ‘buzzing’ it’s a balmy evening, so many restaurants; so many people, very old buildings.

I think it is time for wandering tomorrow.

All is good!!
