Woche 16 Orebic - Split

On Monday, the wind slows us down. It's storming so much that we can't continue. In the morning, thick smoke clouds hang over the town. The forest is burning in many places and the only road towards the ferry and the mainland is closed. Only in the afternoon does the wind calm down a bit and three firefighting planes can finally take off. It's fascinating to see how the pilots drop water exactly on target and get control of the individual fire spots.

The next morning we can continue, although the wind almost blows us away in some places, but we reach the ferry. Only on the way do we see the full extent of the fires that are still burning in some areas.

We take the ferry to Ploce and cycle the last three stages along the beautiful coast to Split.

We enjoy two days in the great city, climb the viewpoint and stroll through the streets.

After 16 weeks of cycling and camping happiness, our bike tour ends here.
