Dabarsko Polje

The next 55 km lead through wonderful plateau valleys in Dabarsko Polje. Little traffic, nice views and a good road. While paying for an ice cream at a petrol station, a drunken guy decides to grab my bike for a short ride. He is so drunk that he cannot even hold it upright. I kick his ass and continue the steep descent to Stolac where I exceed 80 km/h with strong falling winds from the back. Down there I pitch my tent (for the 3rd time this trip) next to the clear river of Bregava. It is nearly ripped apart by the crazy mountain storm at night. Pfffff.Read more

Outgrooving from my crazy cycling trip in beautiful, medievally atmospherised Stolac. Just 45 km are left to Mostar where my car is parked. I make it a loooong ride with many coffee stops and fresh peaches as snacks from the roadside. Melancholy.Read more

Where Buna meets Neretva

Awesome confluence of rivers just south of Mostar! Neretva is locally guided through a lower channel and Buna merges parallel to it from above.

Into Mostar I follow a cycling trail which was an old railway track once. It is hot. Traces of recent burning everywhere. Some rubbish in the left road ditch, some pungent smell of a dead animal from the right ditch. Welcome to the Balkans in peak summer.Read more

1 km before reaching the car my bike's chain starts to make terror. One link turns out to be defective and cannot bend freely anymore. This is my second Shimano chain this year with exactly the same fault after less than 1000 km. Can be fixed with a spare link but the general conclusion is: crap.

Final chilly weekend at my friends with figs, raspberries, bureks, sun, tomatoes, BBQ, Schnaps, blogging and short bike rides up the surrounding hills.
