Campsites in Croatia

Campsites visited:
Camp Galeb, Omis, Split
Camp Kate, Mlini, Dubrovnik
Camp Rogac, Slano, Dubrovnik
Camp Rozac, Trogir, Split
Camp Viter, Zaostrog

From what I can remember there were plenty campsites when I visited 20 or so years ago. And now there are more, for example I searched on the net for campsites near Dubrovnik and the airport and found around 4-5 easily. Cycling from the airport to Dubrovnik we saw many more. The same was true leaving Dubrovnik I knew of a few either from our map we had or from internet search, but we soon …

Croatia day 8 : easy delayed jet

We slept well in the hotel’s comfy bed and did not hear the busy road next to the hotel. And we both had a yummy cheesy omelets in the hotel’s restaurant.
The hotel took us and our bicycles the 5min drive to the airport. Quick check in and a stamp in our passports. Where we discovered that we got stamped on the way in without us knowing it! Sneaky immigration officials ;)

We found a place to sit in the airport and shortly after heard on the tannoy that Easyjet would let …

Croatia day 7 : Thor rides again

Well the almighty Thor beat the dustmen to it this morning. At four we were woken up to a massive light show and thunders that shook the earth. Shortly after the heavens opened up, lets just say that when it rains in Croatia it pours.

We tried to sleep and ignore the storm since our black octane 3 tent kept us nice and dry. Though shortly after the wind started and we heard the trickling sound of a river. Looking out into our “west wing” we saw that our Ortlieb …

A review of Local Bicycle Shop – Ciklo Planet, Split, Croatia

Description: Bicycle Sales in Split, Croatia.
Shop visited: September 2009.

I emailed Ciklo Planet a few month ago and asked if it would be ok for us to come and pick up some empty bicycle boxes after our cycling tour in Croatia for our flight home.
Yes no problem, was the answer and the same when I send them a reminder a week before we would arrive in Split.
I called them up the day before to remind them and to ask for directions, since I didn’t, nor did the …

Croatia day 6 : the a day of dead ends

Well what can I say Croatia do like their bins empty cause we got woken up at six. But since we didn’t have to get up to be anywhere we had a nice sleep in until 10:30′ish. Got up and didn’t pack up for a change and headed out to explore the island of Civic which we are on.

Croatia day 5 : Sunday a day of rest ?

So much for Croatia being a catholic country, I was sure that Croatia would be dead as a Dodo on a Sunday. But no we got rudely awakened by the dustman at 5:20 on a Sunday morning. And again a bit later when then came back to pick up the recycling, I take it.
Again our departing the campsite time was around ten past nine, go figure.

Instead of taking the Adriatic coastal road the last bit into and past Split, we climbed out of Omis inland up towards Gata and just …
