Friday July 1st Prizna to Posedarje 54.62miles

11/7/2016

​I woke up at 5am and soaked up the uninterrupted view of the coastline up and down the length of the bay and the island of Pag opposite.  I was packed and on the road with 20miles cycled by the time it got too hot again and I started to look for a café to hide away in.  First café was another 5miles further on – and he only did breakfast but recommended a restaurant even further on for hot food.  I had a coffee, and went for a swim (with bare feet, albeit cautiously because I could see the spiny back sea urchins amongst the rocks).  Onwards to the restaurant where I had the usual prolonged lunch – it was 4 hours before I got going again, when it was slightly cooler with patches of shade.  Left Mum a happy birthday message and sent both her and Steve’s birthday cards.
 
I found an official campsite which was much more to my liking.  All the basics provided – showers,  wifi etc – in a small orchard.  The neighbours were friendly too – a Dutch man who had been widowed two years previously and had turned his car into a campervan in disguise with cunning little drawers that pulled out and turned into kitchens; another cycle tourist from Austria who was only carrying 20kg of gear on his bike.  The Dutch man (called something like Shaman) made me a cup of tea and I provided biscuits. 
The campsite was slightly noisy as still close to the road, but it took me no time to fall asleep.

You are doing great Terri! Never thought it got so hot in that part of the world. But, now I remember it was during a German summer we all got so sunburned the arm doctor prescribed us a special sun barrier liquid. It dried like a translucent second skin and did a marvelous job protecting my toddlers. Bad news about Britex. Dariel (PMP 30-30) says it is like walking around with a big black cloud over your head all the time. You are better off where you are for the moment; then by the time you get home again it will have (hopefully) all settled down. Those colourful boxes you saw were (I think) set up for migrating birds which arrive once a year to breed .... a honey eater? I seem to have lost track of anything in your blog halfway through June. Checked a couple of times, but no new entries. Great to know you are doing OK. You are meeting up with some lovely people too which must make all that uphill cycling worth while at the end of the day. Until I catch up again "Take Care!"

If you don't mind me saying, you don't seem to be totally dedicated to keeping this log up to date and keeping your loyal fans informed of your adventures. Just because you're off gadding with Kathryn that does not give you an excuse. Love to Welly. Jenny xxx
