Day 59 - Brac Island, Croatia

Today the boat sailed to the port of Milna for our next days adventure of riding, thankfully only one ride lined up.
We had breakfast on the boat and were in the port of Milna by 9am ready to set off.

Once the bikes were offloaded the boat left the port and we headed off through the town and for our next hill climb of 3.5km, again Katie was off and I was left grinding with a major head wind. I was thankful and that the small portion of the road turned and we had a tail wind!
There was a nice down hill then we stopped at the village of Bobovisca which has a grand bell tower that the villagers got a famous sculpture to create, this was destined to be in Venice but the Village paid off the bell tower for the next 30years to have the best bell tower in the area! This area is also famous for it’s limestone, this limestone was actually used for The White House in Washington & the UN building in New York. This Limestone also gets used in multiple other places over the world too.

After this beautiful view there was a beautiful 10km uphill grind, Katie had her bike in eco mode and the wrong gear so with delight I watched her pedal her heart out while I was yelling to change gear… She shot off eventually!

With uphill comes an amazing downhill! To say I wasn’t watching my speed was an understatement. 58km per hour was the fastest speed on the downhill straight as I was chasing a Brazilian lady that shot off ahead of the pack!

We met the boat in Postira and had lunch on the boat. After lunch we walked around to the beach called Zastivonje for a swim and a relax.

Once we freshened up we went for a drink at a hidden bar in the trees on the rocks near the sea call Incognito, We had an Aperol Spritz and the house wine.

For dinner we kept it simple and went to a local burger bar that we later found out the whole crew of the boat was at so must be a good place!
We had ice cream to end the night and a little walk around the port.Read more
