No photos I'm afraid.
My phone got wet and doesn't work. I use it to transfer photos from my camera so until I get it working or get another one I have a problem.
As long as I can find WiFi I can use my tablet to communicate and make bookings.
Today started with me leaving Mostar in 24c heat and ended in 9c soaking wet with no one to let me in my booked accommodation. So I'm staying at the house next door who took pity on me. I've had a meal at the local restaurant and I'm warm and dry. Despite the rain I had a great day riding much longer than I anticipated because I was refused entry at my border crossing of choice. The man who would sell me insurance for the bike didn't turn up today so I had to ride over an hour in the wrong direction to the next one. I ended up with a four hour ride taking 8 hours. After the border I had bad weather for a while followed by long time in a road with the surface missing, it was just mud and big pot holes so first and second gear only for a long time. The bike is so filthy now.... Then I stopped at a cafe and meet a group of Spanish motorcyclists who had shipped their bikes and were having a great time. I had a great laugh with these guys. The next two and a half hours was heavy rain which stopped as I arrived in this town. When I got here there was no one to let me in so I got my mobile out of my pannier and tried to call them as I was cold and my feet were soaked again. There was no answer and without thinking I dropped my mobile into my pocket which had half an inch of water in it. So when I took it out it didn't work.
The good news is the weather forecast is good for tomorrow. I should have stayed one more night in Mostar.
The roads here when they are not under construction and missing any surface are very good. Very little traffic and good quality with endless bends and hairpins as you snake through the mountains. Tomorrow I head back to the coast as it's time I started heading south again.
I will stick to the coast from now.Lue lisää
