Back to the coast
We cycled back to the coast through the Neretva valley.
There were some stunningly beautiful views of the river. Here's an example:
Tunnel ahead!
Back in Croatia, we took some dirt roads through the countryside on our way to cross the border to Bosnia and Herzegovina again:
We wanted to cross a small border checkpoint on top of a mountain, so we cycled up:
Almost at the top:
Theres the border checkpoint, woohoo!
"Sorry, only for the local people!" Meh. The view was worth it though:
Going down again:
And up this road again :)
The view is still fantastic:
Up, up, up!
And down to the coast:
There's the other border checkpoint from the distance:
Got through without any problems, they didn't even want to see our passports this time. Here's the missing photo of the "Welcome to Bosnia and Herzegovina!" sign:
When we arrived in Neum, it was already getting dark and started to rain. We were lucky we decided to book a cheap apartment room for the night. In the moment we arrived there, a huge thunderstorm started and the road turned into a river. Phew!
