Opatija (Rijeka)
After a reasonable – somewhat boring – ride of 115km and about 900m of elevation gain, 80% of which was along or on busy roads, there was suddenly the Mediterranean Sea!
It is certainly special to land here from the North Sea.
The hotel, where 7 cycling buddies from Schoten will join us tomorrow, is quite a few stars higher than what we are used to. But we have already enjoyed it to the fullest.
