Wednesday 23 June 2010 Osor to Mali Losinj 25km

We left Osor both thinking it not such a good idea but we do have a ferry to catch on Friday in Mali Losinj.  The weather is superb and we have a strong tailwind.  We didn't have far to ride today and the reason we've been a bit slack in the distance department lately is that the ferry only leaves on Friday and well this is a very nice part of the world.  Personally I'd rather be sailing here than riding but it's not too bad.

We stopped for a coffee in Nerezine which was a massive 5km from Osor, so despite not having worked up an appetite we still bought yummies to eat.

This cycling touring caper is bad for the waist line :)

Riding on to Mali Losinj (which is a much bigger town) the traffic started to get worse.  It was very hard to look at the amazing coastline and watch where your going on the narrow shoulder with cars zooming past.  Even with the stress of the traffic it is still an incredible place.

The view from our room

Mali Losinj looks like a 'big money' tourist town.  Big yachts and big motor boats line the marina which is in turn surrounded by cafes, shops and tourist agencies.  We got directions to the campsite and rode on up.  Stunned, that's what we were when we got there, I've never seen so many caravans, it's a mini-city.  Sure it's in a wonderful place but it's not really the camping we've come to be used to on this trip.  Sandy and I like out intimate little campgrounds which nice views and lots of quiet.

We had some pretty ordinary pizzas for lunch at the marina and then wandered back to the campsite.
