Plitvice to the Adriatic Coast

This morning we said farewell to my beloved Plitvice. This is such a beautiful spot that it is hard to leave. We said goodbye to our host San who made us a lovely Turkish coffee before we left.

We decided to have breakfast down the road a bit but after passing a few places we ended up in this beautiful desolate spot. We ate breakfast bars Joe had with him and listened to a Cuckoo bird call for his mate.

Much better than a restaurant.

 

We got a little drizzle of rain while waiting for some road construction and then through some curves and we stopped at another gorgeous pullout.

 

 

We finally arrived at the city of Zadar. A lot of the service stations were closed but we found one that was open and went to a café in the middle of the city square.

 

We ended up talking to a couple from Montreal Quebec while we had lunch. After we wandered through the town and  right on the sea where we spoke to some bikers from Germany who were staying on the Island of Pag and because Joe had never been there and it was on the way we decided to pay it a visit.

I always seem to find gardens wherever I go and this was a rather unusual plant. Still do not know what it is though.

 

 

 

 

Then we continued on to Pag. We just went out on the island for a ways and then had to ride all the way back and go several km out of our way so we could ride the Adriatic coast. But first PAG.

We had to ride over this bridge to get to the island and there is a ferry at the other end It is known for it's moonscape desolation but in small villages and where the grass grows there are sheep and everywhere they are known for their cheese.

 

Over in the distance is the Adriatic shore we want to ride. It has to be one of the best motorcycle roads on earth. Twisties the whole length. In and out and up and down. We stopped at this camping spot on the island. Wow thousands of sites for trailers. Not my kind of campsite. Then Joe led me back so we could catch the coast road and after km after km of twisties I was kind of itching for just a LITTLE straight stretch but we came to hotel he knew and parked the bikes practically in the house out of the rain and then we went downstairs for dinner. It was called Riva. Just south of Senj.

 

This was our room with another little bed which I chose this night.

This was the scene as we had dinner that night under the inn. We met and talked to lovely couple from Munich and had breakfast with them again in the morning.

 

This is what I had for dinner.

And on that note goodnight. I am currently in Salzburg Austria trying to play catch up on my Blog.
