One of the best holidays I have had for a while. :)

Perfect roads, perfect weather, and lots of bikes !
Went for Harley Days in Biograd, and a run down the coast.

First, to get there:


Lunch in Slovenia

Image


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, BBQ pork, been cooling all morning [drool] [drool] [drool]

Image


First stop: Plitvice Lakes, a National Park with lots of waterfalls.

Image

Lots of fishies for PF, all carp..

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

This waterfall is 80 meteres high, more than Niagara:

Freaking long walk up.. see that little walkway down the bottom ?
You use that to visit the big waterfall.

Then, walk up, the whole park is a big depression in the ground.

The roads in Croatia are just awesome for bikes !!

Not much traffic ( in May ), lots of easy curves to go rolling through...


Up the hill;

People can from all over for the Harley Days..

Image

This an old Renault 4, quite a few of them still around.
Some members may remember Bossdog bought one a had it all fixed up.

Image

And the new version.. Dacia Logan, made by Renault :)

Image


Finally, evening in KRK.

Image


Just loved riding around here. the Croats should be calling all bikers to come visit
(and spend money ;) )
We'll be going back !

Very beautiful. I had no idea what Croatia would look like. You had nice weather too. [B-o]

Weather was perfect :rock:


Croatia looks great, very Mediterranean, without all the loudmouth Spics and Wops. ;)

Only 'quiet' Slavs... well, the wars are over, now.. :mrgreen:

Glad I'm riding it, not walking it.

Saw one house that looked like it had been bombed and not rebuilt, but didnt get a chance for a pic.
We made it south of Split, down into Makarska.
When we go back, it'll be a run into Bosnia, towards Mostar as well.


We heard that Biograd got pounded pretty good during the war; well, it's all been redone,
happy to report.

Wonderful pics, Martin. :D

Looks like the war ravaged beaches have recovered well. I'm very glad to see that.

Croatia has a lot of potential with tourism.

   



wildrosegirl @ Thu Jun 02, 2011 5:26 pm

Unless I'm mistaken, tourism was one of Croatia's main industries prior to the war. The devastation of the beaches, hotels, resorts, etc., crippled the economy there for several years. I think... my memory's not what it used to be. :lol:

   



ShepherdsDog @ Thu Jun 02, 2011 5:35 pm

I think it's been a getaway place since the time of Rome.....and as Martin pointed out, no Italians, Frenchmen or Spaniards to ruin the scenery.
