We stayed one more night in Hvar, then Ingo had to ride back to Munich. Ingo left at 5 in the morning so he could make it back to Munich in one day.

I decided to continue towards Dubrovnik. I wasn't sure yet if I would stay in Split or somewhere else, and it didn't bother me too much either. The Linux Mini laptop and my Iphone were a godsend for this tour. I was always able to find a place to stay or else within minutes. Well, not always, but more to this later...

I decided to ride on the Croatian coast road, and it is nothing short than spectacular! Imagine California's highway 1 times 10. Better, times 100. Again, I just didn't have enough time to visit all the small coastal towns along the way.

I was now on my own, no more riding partner. I quickly found a group of riders, 10 or so, who I rode with for a couple hours. They then stopped for lunch, we had a quick chat, and I continued towards Split.

I still wasn't sure if I would continue south towards Montenegro, I didn't know a thing about Montenegro. Some Croatians told us that Montenegro is unsafe and the driving is crazy. I decided to check up on MN on the internet once I found my place to stay for the night...in Split or maybe somewhere else...
