Day 45 Zadar
No more ferries today, our ride from the island of Pag to Zadar has a bridge instead.
We bumped into one of the German cyclists we'd met on the ferry yesterday, he seemed happier cycling alone.
The first 10km were quite hard work, a lot of very steep and deep gravel paths and we both nearly fell off a few times, but it was very beautiful cycling along the water. Several sheep huddling in the shade.
From there we passed through Pag town and stopped for a drink, then along the edge of the sea salt pans down the length of Pag.
It's hot, dry and very windy here. All our rest stops are in bus shelters with surprisingly comfortable seating.
We met 4 bike packers just before Zadar, they had cycled from Albania and were heading to Austria. Saw several others on the road. Very grateful to find our apartment has a/c and a washing machine 🙏
Love, Kat & Mat x

We cycled back to the mainland over a very high bride which is sometimes dangerous due to high winds but was fine for us.
