These Croatian islands are a sailing paradise. I saw crews from all over Europe docked. It's fantastic, they have dinners on deck at night including THE best views.

It looketd like weather was coming in and I had to go anyway. David, who I met on the ferry stopped by for a Hi and Goodbye.

So I rode up the old road, as David suggested, and it was absolutely stunning! There were these stone patterns everywhere, I still don't know what they are for. Anyway, the road was fantastic, it was pure motorcycle riding heaven.

3 pics of the pass road and o1 pic of a horse's ass

The road was so fantastic, so here are a couple more pics....

I ended up in Sucuraj, the last little town on the island. From here I was hoping to be able to catch the ferry back on mainland

There was indeed another ferry, and I even had enough time to run to the next supermarket for a superb sandwich.

I enjoyed my sandwich, followed the wise man's directions and was on my way.

I met a very nice couple from Argentinia, who seemed to travel quiet a bit, too. They urged me to explore the panamerican highway ;O). One day maybe ;O)

I was back on the road towards Dubrovnik. The pics here are from the inland, not the coastal road. Not the wealthiest of people who had their places on these lakes, but they sure had an amazing view. Even this inland part of the trip was nothing short than breathtaking.

Not only breathtaking, but also very interesting. For the first time on this trip I touched regions where the people are poor for Western European standards. They still were far better off then what I would see soon. They were all still very happy though ;O)!
