Day 208: Igalo to Dubrovnik

We’re in Croatia

We were only in Montenegro for about 5kms this morning, climbing up the valley road to the Montenegrin checkpoint. Then it was a fair bit more climbing before we crested the ridge and were were in Croatia.

Into Croatia

Spectacular clifftop roads

Then we were riding up through the Croatian hills towards Dubrovnik. There’s a bit of a sting in the tail before the town, with a large climb up round the cliff, before a fast descent into Dubrovnik.

The city looks beautiful, and we’re looking forward to going and exploring later.

We’re staying just outside the city walls, which made getting there by bike a lot easier. In fact, we’re staying in a Mazda dealer, which is odd. The car dealer obviously decided that there was more money in tourism round here and extended their showroom to include apartments for tourists. I like the touch of naming it “Zoom-Zoom” though. I’m not sure what the Mazda brand police would say though.

Dubrovnik, every bit as pretty as expected

That’s our apartment on the right, Apartments Zoom-Zoom, with everything for your Mazda car.
