Day 21: From Crno Jezero to Tara Bridge

Short bike ride day. We started the day swimming at Black Lake, relaxing our muscles and enjoying the National Park. After a huge breakfast in town, we rode 22.6 km to Tara Bridge. The road was mainly downhill. We stayed in a wood cabin by the river (30 euros breaky included) and did some computer work, looking forward to jumping into the zip line tomorrow morning. Good night, world!

Day 15: From Glamping Bagrem to Lukomir

Image
After our time at Glamping Bagrem, we set off for Lukomir, the highest village in Bosnia. This journey is not for the faint-hearted—the road is incredibly steep, with a 12% incline on a dirt path that seemed to stretch on forever. We ended up pushing our bikes for about five hours, covering two-thirds of the distance on foot. Despite the grueling effort and the intense heat, we were fortunate to find water sources along the way. The rugged beauty and expansive views of the breathtaking landscapes made every challenging step worth it. We took the most challenging route and had to push our bikes most of the time due to the dirt road and steep incline, which made it really hard to ride our road bikes. After 45km, we finally arrived in Lukomir at 10:30 pm, guided only by the faint glow of our lights and accompanied by the distant barking of shepherd dogs. The sunset views during our journey were out of this world, painting the sky with breathtaking hues. We were lucky to find our magical...

Day 13: Rest day at Mostar

Image
We woke up in Mostar and decided to take a rest day. We stayed in the Old Town, which is the most charming part of Mostar. Everything is within walking distance, and we got to see the famous Mostar Bridge. This 16th-century Ottoman bridge was rebuilt after being destroyed in the 1990s conflict.Mostar's Old Town was developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman frontier town.The city is known for its old Turkish houses and the Old Bridge, Stari Most, which gave Mostar its name. Although much of the historic town and the Old Bridge were destroyed in the 1990s, they have been rebuilt.Walking around the Old Town, you can see a mix of restored buildings and original structures that tell a story of history and resilience. It's a wonderful place to take a break and soak in the atmosphere. We kicked off the day with breakfast at Urban Taste of Orient . They served an amazing Oriental breakfast platter with a variety of Bosnian and Turkish dishes, all of fantastic quality. The...

Day 27: From Kotor to Perast

Image
Our experience with our accommodation in Kotor was unpleasant. We booked and paid for our stay through Booking.com, and had never encountered any issues with these reservations until that day. The person in charge of the accommodation arrived in the morning, demanding payment that had already been made through the platform, for which we had proof (from the bank and Booking.com). She was very rude, yelling and threatening to call the police, creating an incredibly grotesque scene. If you pass through Kotor, never stay at Ocea Apartments . After dealing with that scam, we continued our journey towards Perast. We pedaled 26.6 km along the bay until we reached our next destination. Perast has a better atmosphere than Kotor but is still a hub for mass tourism. Buses full of tourists arrive throughout the day, along with people from cruise ships, just like in Kotor. The local minimarket also tried to charge us double for some drinks and a bag of chips. When we confronted the cashier, she s...
