Towards Ostrog

After that massive day yesterday, we slept in till about 9:30. Slowly and gently we left the room and lingered for breakfast till about noon.

The Zeta river runs through Danilovgrad, so we decided to ride a little before jumping into it. This river swim was great. No more salt water that felt boiled, but cool crisp fresh water to swim in!

The ride past the river to Ostrog turned out to be quite a challenge. When a path is marked a highway, it means that it has no lane markings, edge barrier or traffic, but it may be flat. If the map shows a secondary highway here... well, you're going to discover new levels of road craft. In some spots, we thought that the road had been laid at the same time and the same team that laid the overhead cables. The road would just shoot up into the hills at absurd slopes.

At Ostrog train station was a water tap. How we abused that water to drench ourselves repeatedly and play! The two passengers sitting on the platform for the train looked at us bemused. I laughed silently at them for thinking any train would come here to this desolate scrub. (Hmm later it did)

We found a restaurant where this woman served up home food. Oh wow, it was so delicious! One of the best meals on my trip. We feasted! We only rode for half a day but picked up a full day's worth of fatigue and hunger - which found it's fair reward.Read more
