We had two rides today, starting with a steep climb much like some of the california climbs. The road kept going up and around. It was twisty enough that a semi going one way had trouble passing a bus going the other way on a turn. After the 10k climb we leveled off and met up for a wine tasting. The region makes reds and whites, but mostly reds like zinfandels. Then we rode thru a 400 meter tunnel with two lights. We then had a 7k descent to the boat. We spenr lunchtime crossing to Mljet. Here we explored the national park,riding another 12k. Peggy and I had ice cream after all that.
Tomorrow we motor to Korcula again and have a 60k ride with some of the climbs at 12 to 15 percent. There is a 12k option which some are taking. The sitances aren't bad, but the combination might be a long day.
We are getting ready to come home. Its hard to be excited about yet another 12th century monastery and chapel.
