Itinerary description
|
At 6:00 a.m. I woke up and immediately got active to pick up everything and have breakfast.
I was lucky because yesterday, the owners of the campsite did not come by my store to charge me and this morning no one came, so I spent the night for free!
I would describe today as the worst of these 22. There has been a lot of headwind and a lot of time pedaling next to a secondary road, in some cases with a bike lane, but all quite boring. But the worst, without a doubt, was the wind.
I found a road closed because there was some kind of meeting and I took the opportunity to have breakfast. Prices in Croatia are similar to those in Spain. Further ahead I found a road in poor condition, with works, but I was able to continue quite well. And finally a constant rise and fall, which ended up involving about 400m of positive slope.
Anyway, I have been moving forward, slower but I have managed to reach the place I had planned, just 5km after crossing the Serbian border (Backa Palanka) but not before stopping by the lidl to get some food, hehehe…
The place I sleep is very cool, and today there is a birthday celebration for the owner's son (39 years old). So they invited me to have dinner with them (goulash) and cake! They don't speak much English so we have communicated through Google Translate.
At 8:00 p.m. I went to the store to read (there were a lot of mosquitoes) and to rest, because tomorrow it's another 120km, more or less, to Belgrade, the capital!
