Just outside Mostar is an old abandoned aeroplane bunker that I was able to locate. Rode through it on my bike, but people have dumped garbage all around unfortunately. Must have been 350m long by 30m wide, not to exciting but kinda neat to see.
Then headed for the border which took three minutes with no costs involved, then rode SW to the Croatian ocean road, which is magnificent with huge solid rock mountains to one side and the crystal clear water on the otherside.
Missed the ferry to Havar Island by three minutes ,so bagged that idea as the next one was hours away. Found a mountain pass that I took and after an hour or so noticed to my horror that my Garmin In Reach was not attached anymore, gone. I had not yet got a sim card so had no internet, came across two German guys having lunch alongside this remote road. They helped me and got hold of Rob and Charmain in SA and he sent me the coordinates and it was at the ferry building ,50 km back.Shot back there on the coastal road but it wasn't laying around and the ticket office was closed. Asked at the restaurantnext door but no luck. Then the ticket man showed up to open up and there it was in the office. Couldn't believe my luck, now Charmain can track me again, which is not always a good thing.
Continued up to Split along the coast arriving later than I had hoped, got a sim card €13 for 7 days 3GB and 2K minutes.
Was a pain to get into my room but finely managed and what a lovely room it was.
Walked to the yacht harbour for pizza and beer, was here two years ago, same month.
