We woke to the sound of raindrops on the trees outside our window announcing we were going to have a wet start today. It didn’t put us off though and we were out the door at the normal time, and straight into a nice dry café with WiFi.

Pulling away after an extended coffee break

Still a bit damp as we headed across the island of Pag

We got going eventually, and the rain had almost finished. There were a lot of hills on the journey across the island and we had to do a fair bit of work before catching the ferry across to the island.

We’re seeing a lot more cycle tourists now. This couple were coming off the ferry onto Pag.

Arriving on the mainland we faced a big climb from the ferry port, up a switchbacking road up the rock face. Then the road along the coast was climbing and descending constantly - we’re earning our kilometres at the moment.

We had a puncture on the Blue Strawberry, our 14th in the trip

Lunch was another beautiful spot, with the only thing missing the food. No shops meant we were on emergency tations.

Clouds were gathering towards the end of the day
