Typical Day in Croatia

Posted in Croatia

After getting the new wheel, we’ve been cycling along the Croatian coastline with detours into the islands of Rab and Pag. The scenery is SPECTACULAR (see the gallery for some photos of the coast) and the weather has been scorching hot. Our typical day goes something like this:

Wake up. Exit and carefully pitch down tent trying not to do more damage.
Get coffee and a ridiculously big breakfast (consisting mostly of cheese pies).
Cycle.
Spot a private cove or a quiet beach and go for a dip.
Cycle some more.
Get lunch.
Cycle some more.
Gelato break.
Cycle some more.
Find a campsite.
Pitch up trying not to do more damage.
Go for a swim.
Dinner (Seafood if we feel like splurging, more cheese pies if we don’t).
Sleep and repeat the next day.

Can’t complain about that.

On Jan. 12th, 2008 we will embark on a 12,000km cycling expedition from Cairo to Cape Town. Our goal is to raise money for clean drinking water in Africa and to fight malaria in developing countries.
