About The Adrien and Martin Joly Blog
Brothers Adrien and Martin follow in the footsteps of many travelers who crossed the Balkans from antiquity to modern times. But they do it by bicycle! Starting on October 6, they have given themselves one month to cycle the nearly 2,100-kilometre distance between Venice and Istanbul. In their blog, they reflect on and document their journey as they travel through Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey.
Their blog in French is at http://balkansavelo.unblog.fr/
Hvar Island
October 22, 2008 • Comments Croatia
A complete day in Hvar Island, very relaxing.
We really need a shower, unfortunately we can't find any water… We have a great idea, we borrow the garden hose of vacated house, we bring it over their wall, and have a cold shower…
It is so nice to feel clean.
We spend the whole day on a terrace in Starigrad, a beautiful fishing village even if 80% of the activity is orientated toward tourism.
We fix bikes and prepare them for the next part of our trip, the hardest, the crossing of the mountains…
For the night, we come back to the abandoned camping, where we can spleep deeply.
