It's over. Well the fully-loaded cycling part of our holiday at least is over. We have decided that we need a bit of a holiday from our holiday and have sent all our camping gear home (Mum there are four big boxes on their way). We still have the bikes and two rear panniers each but no more camping for us. The plan is now to try and get a yacht charter in Croatia for a week which is unlikely at such short notice and then catch a train back to London for one last look at England before heading back to Australia.
We are staying a couple of days here in Mali Losinj as it's absolutely beautiful and a very good place to have a couple of lazy days. We went for a swim yesterday and I know I've spoken of the clear water before but it is sensational and worthy of further praise. Ate some more ordinary food last night and retired to bed.
It has taken us a while to come to terms with the fact that we will not be doing anymore 'real' cycling but we're OK with it now......sort of. For the first time on this holiday we can now see an end and that is a bit sad as we've been living a pretty hedonistic lifestyle up until now. Our original plans had been grand but the reality is we are both tired. While we would love to travel further east (Albania, Greece, Turkey) but we feel it would be a half hearted attempt, not the undivided attention it deserves, so we'll put that down as another holiday for another time.

you can come and stay with us at our caravan on the Thames Path and do some fishing if you want some R & R.
