    Day 2: From Njivive to Krk City

    August 1, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    I kept it short on Day 2 and only cycled from Njivive to Krk City, where I wanted to go diving with the dive instructor who taught me diving 14 years ago. I planned to get up super early to cycle while it's still cool outside and to arrive early at the diving school as a surprise and go diving the same day. Well, that didn't work out. 🙈 I had a terrible sleep that night and couldn't get up in the morning, so I arrived around noon. Even though it wasn't that far, I felt the muscle ache from the previous day. Also, it again shared the main road with really wreckless mobile home drivers.
    Once arrived, the diving school staff recommended me a beautiful camping ground on top of a hill. So I went there, set up my tent and chatted with tent neighbours (Germans, of course 😅). After, I went back to the beach and the city for a swim and some strolling around. :) In the afternoon (once the diving boat returned) I went back to the school. It was great seeing everyone again and I put my name on the boat list for the next day. 👌😁

    I also went to a bicycle store that day since I noticed a "bumpy" feeling I assumed to be caused by the front tyre. The guy wasn't really keen on finding the cause but added air to both tyres for free, which was nice but didn't actually solve the problem. 😅 Will figure that out another day.

    Some lessons learned today include:
    - Don't put sunscreen on while sitting on your camping matress, the oily spots will now last forever I guess.. -.-
    - Fig trees are great for spending shadow and a snack, but if there's ripe fruits on it you'll have ants EVERYWHERE if you forget to close the tent for just a second.. 🙄

    Looking forward to diving tomorrow!! 🐙🐠🐡🦈🐢🐬
