Day 36: Coastal marathon to Rijeka

As I wanted to reach Rijeka in the evening, I left very early after a short breakfast in Karlobag.
Today the weather was much better and I did not have to fight stormy conditions but could just enjoy the views along the coast.



It was still hilly and I knew I had to cycle harder than usual to make the 130 km before 6 p.m.



However, I always took the time to see things and had lunch in one of the first bigger town.




Opposed to the day before, there were many of these towns with tourists at the water or roaming the streets.




At one of the small places at the water I seized the opportunity so swim in the sea.


I reached Rijeka at 5.30 and took a look at the city which was much more industrial than Zadar.




With a campsite 15 km away I decided to stay in a hostel where I talked to an Aussie and an Italian to close out the evening.
