The joy of starting early

My route took me inland into the mountains again. Slowly meandering up. I had seen this town name, Gornje Igrane and mistook it for a Gorge name but following the road there with minimal traffic and beautiful views. Like it matters its was not s gorge when I got there.

The road then plummeted down towards the sea a classic engineering masterpiece of a shelf road. A sheer drop down to the sea to one side and vertically up on the other, rocks prohibited from falling on the road by wire netting. 😲.

Then as I neared the sea I saw a sigh to the Skywalk Biokovo. A small queue of traffic. Hmmm could be interesting. The gate keeper told me cyclists don’t have to wait. I proferred the 35Kuna demanded and Rode up the near vertical switchback for 17kms.

The Skywalk is a glass bottomed bridge in a semi-circle, there is nothing below or above snd scary to go onto.

The ride down was exhilarating. At the bottom I swung into Makarska and filling up with baked goods snd ice cream. I sort of lost interest in riding further. So I swung into Autocamp Krvavica for the night.
