287 kilometers

287 kilometers today from Genova to friends’ house in the Provence countryside. (That means end of the cycling route.) We only left at 8:45am, had 150km in the bank by lunch on the Monaco boardwalk, and hauled until there was no more light. That makes 1904km in 11 days. Ouch. The bodies are still intact, […]

Floating across the Adriatic

On Sunday we pulled down to Split and caught the ferry straight over to the island of Hvar. I have to recommend the restaurant Alviz behind the cathedral for fair priced food and great owners. Vjeko will drink with you until closing. Monday, our day off was spent almost entirely eating and catching up on […]
Big ride with 24 hours in paradise earned

Sunday Aug 20, 9pm, boat from Split to Hvar – Today we decided to make a big push for the city of Split so we could have a trip to the island of Svar, often laden with paradise-like descriptions, before crossing the Adriatic to Ancona, Italy and continuing the ride from there. However, that meant […]
