Once again we woke to grey skies and rain. Our last activity as a group was a walking tour of Dubrovnik. Luckily we had all purchased umbrellas the day before in Korcula, plus the Hilton had more available, so off we went in the drizzle.   Ivan, our tour guide was funny and informative. We hiked through the small alleys and up on the wall, all while learning the long history of this beautiful town. Due to the rain, the stone stairs and walkways were very sl...

While all of our biking days we have woken to sunshine, that was not the case this morning. It looked to be drizzling and was definitely overcast.   It was our last day of biking, so we were all optimistic and dressed for the ride.   At breakfast, we saw people passing with umbrellas which is never a good sign.  Unlike most days, we started out with a 20 minute bus ride to our biking starting point.

As no...

After a beautiful nights sleep, we woke to church bells chiming. And chiming. And chiming. Katja had warned us that they rang at random hours and for long periods of time...she wasn't wrong. We heard them starting at 6am, and since the church was right next to our room, we heard them loud and clear. So, we were right on time for breakfast and the route rap.  Anjay and Katja advised that this was the hardest day for riding and also logistically. There ...
