We were packed and on Route 8 heading NW for about 9.30. Yesterday had been a real laze. Up late & eventually to a little Stoney beach on the east side of Zaton. We had it to ourselves for a couple of hours or more, lazing in the sun & going for the odd dip to cool off.
Topped the day off with the third visit to our fave restaurant, Vala. Superb food & great service. Both had Sea Bass fillets - Shirl reckons it's the best fish she's ever had!
We'd really enjoyed our stay at the Njiric Apts in Zaton & were actually quite relieved that we hadn't originally found somewhere to stay in Dubrovnik, as it's definitely a day trip city in our opinion. The Croatian coast is stunning and just about anywhere you stay on it will be beautiful.
We retraced the route out as far as Split, then cut in land on Route 1. What a fantastic motorcycling road! Virtually traffic free, superb surface, constant twists & turns (generally fast open bends) & great scenery.
We had a lovely run up through Sinj, Knin and on to Korenica. Stopped at a great 'Truckers & Bikers' restaurant called 'Tomic'. A superb omelette with chips & a large beer each - £8!! Also petrol at less than £1/litre & an earlier coffee stop - 60p each! Emphasised to us what a rip off Dubrovnik is.
Stopping the night at the Guesthouse Aracic (£30) in Korenica in a lovely area. Really quite taken with the Croatian countryside whether it be on the coast or the interior.
Another very hot day meant showers on arrival & get the kit aired on the balcony:
