Last night we were moored in Omis and today we rode 43k up a pretty river canyon and back. From the top of the descent back it looked like we had ridden up past all the Skagit dams. The view was straight down at the tailrace and substations of a powerhouse. Also thru a slot between mountaims looking at the sea. We then motored over to Brac island where we had the afternoon off. Not much was going on here as it is Sunday. Tomorrow we have a steeper but shorter ride to the other side of the island. 30k and 500m vertical. We had a good time on the ride, feeling good going uphill and at our own speed. The directions and map were in conflict so a few people took an extra ride before they discovered the mistake. This is so not an elderhostel ride. From the first ride with some people without helmets and then the leader starting us out going the wrong way on a one way street. This is a little looser than we are used to. Of course every announcement is made in both english and german. The food is good, lots of fish and salads. A little noisy at night. The shower is a handheld in the bathroom. Each cabin has a bathroom tho, and we are moored and on shore power each night so peggy can use her cpap machine. I,m fighting a cold the elderhostelers were passing around. Hopefully it'll stay an easy cold and I can keep chugging up the hills.
