Manfred Hubert and Robert from Villach Austria and half an hour later Robert and Bartek from Poland. they had the same trailer as me. I found my apartememt very easy. in the evening I met Astrid and her friend Thomas from Austria. Astrid and I will now cycle together to Asia.Dubrovnik is really gorgeous. very old and so interesting. I had a guided tour and in the afternoon we met us for the cablecar to go to the summit . great view over the city !

from Mala Duba to Banici

95 km with many mountains, permanent wind from the frontside and much traffic I arrived in Banici a very small village 40 km from Dubrovnik. the border to Bosnia Herzegovina was also to pass. I am really groggy because it was a tough trip. streets are sometimes very dangerous apart from the trucks and buses, they are often milled in directiob to travel and for bikers really nonfun. i met Thomas the motobiker from Bamberg. have a save trip !!

from Split to Mala Duba

now Sunday it was the day to start from Split to Dubrovnik. it is Sunday and no trucks will overtake me too close. the coast line is very beautiful and people are very friendly. i met Daniel the motobiker from Munich and Dimitri the cyclist from France . in the evening I looked for a warm shower and the friendly couple Cancar,(with her niece Tanja) who worked for 40 Years in Germany offered me room. was great to met them.

now in Split

the last few days were as well as boring as exciting. the region from Plitvicka Lakes to Sinj has very low population and most if the people are quite poor. many houses are still destroyed from war in 1991. people look at me as an alien but they are very friendly when I contact them. I met a young woman walking from Split to Sinj for a religious purpose. we had a very good discussion and the told
me her story which was not very
amusing. great to meet her. my trip to Split was quite dangerous due to the fact I took the A1 built 15km as a highway. what a horror trip ! arriving Split a women from the market offerd me a beautiful apartment close to the city centre. I did a little bit my
laundry and then I visited the histroc city . Great !!!!
