Last ride in Croatia

June 12, 2025

This morning the boat dropped us off in Njivice and we rode along the coast, climbed some hills, sped down some downhills and had lunch in Cizici where you can take a famous mud bath that will take 10 years off your age…. None of us tried it…. Then it was over land back to Omisalj where we started our Croatian biking adventure. The Andela Lora was in port waiting for us and we all jumped in the water from the boat to cool off as the ride was so hot this afternoon. The cold Adriatic felt wonderful! After relaxing a bit we headed up a zig zag path to the hill top old town of Omisalj.

Along the Adriatic. The rides along the water are so beautiful.

We walked down this part of the path… except for our guide, he rode down, twice….

Our first rest stop of the day fresh cherries and watermelon

These stones have carvings of very old Slavic words and letters but they are not readable by most Croatians today. They were created by Constantine the philosopher.

These cedar trees have very strange pinecones

We stopped in this village for the viewpoint. From there we could see to most of the towns that we had been to

Looking out over the ground we have covered

Our lunch stop, box lunches from the boat, gelato, and wading in the water

The water was much warmer here as it was shallow

Parish church of the assumption of the blessed Virgin Mary Stomorina. Constructed at the turn of the 12th century in the Romanesque style.

The renaissance bell tower, completed in the 1536

This building really illustrates what they have been saying that people would use whatever building materials they could put their hands on

Total: 20 miles (32 km)
