Day 1 – Saco to Zagreb, Croatia 🇭🇷
By early August… Denise and I had nothing planned for a fall trip. We usually like to start traveling again once summer is over in Maine. I asked Denise where she thought we might go…and she mentioned that Croatia would be nice. So I started looking at what there was to do in Croatia… And […]
Day 2 – Zagreb, Croatia 🇭🇷 to Kranjska Gora, Slovenia 🇸🇮
Damn, we were tired… We slept straight through till 7 o’clock this morning. We had a fairly long day planned…about 270 km…so we headed down to breakfast at 7:30 and we were out the door by 9 o’clock. But only after few people moved their cars so we could jimmy the bikes out of the […]
Day 3 – Kranjska Gora, Slovenia 🇸🇮 to Motovun, Croatia 🇭🇷
When we arrived in Zagreb a few days ago… Almir (one of the fellows who rented us the motorcycles) told us that it’s very safe here in Croatia. He said they didn’t need to provide any locks for the motorcycles, and that we would have no issues whatsoever. It was very comforting to hear that…especially […]
Day 4 – Motovun, Croatia 🇭🇷 to Lovran, Croatia 🇭🇷
When we checked in at Villa Marija yesterday… Loraina mentioned that we could have breakfast on our balcony in the morning. That sounded amazing!… So we signed up quick 😃. At 8 o’clock, sharp breakfast was sitting outside our door. It included croissant’s… Breakfast, meat, and cheese… an apple cake of some kind (we smelled […]
Day 5 – The Adriatic Coast
We woke up this morning with the sun basking on the small town of Lovran. Today would be a typical riding day for us… Somewhere between 250 and 300 km. After a quick breakfast at the hotel… The first hotel we stayed at by the way… We had the bikes loaded up and were on […]
Day 6 – KRKA Waterfall
Today would be a short day of riding… Only about 2 1/2 hours. By early morning we were at the KRKA waterfalls inside the national park. The falls are one of the top attractions for tourists in Croatia so things got a little crowded. After buying our tickets, we both picked up a sandwich for […]
Day 7 – The Island of Hvar
ou’ve heard us mention that we had a couple of days with some rain showers but otherwise the weather has been absolutely amazing. It’s been in the high 70s to low 80s almost every day.…which is perfect motorcycle weather as far as we’re concerned. Right now it looks like the next chance of rain is […]
Day 8 – Climbing Sveti Jure Peak on Mt Biokovo
The weather this morning was again picture perfect. Today we would ride from the city of Hvar, to the other end of the island where we would take a ferry back over to the mainland. Taking the ferry with a lot of bikers The ride across the island was beautiful with lots of twisty roads, […]
Day 9 – Dubrovnik
As we left Ston this morning, we went down to the waterfront and flew the drone to try to get a few shots of the beautiful fortified city. The interesting thing about the city walls is that they go up a hill behind the city. Sanja told us about what she called the salt fields […]
Day 10 – Montenegro 🇲🇪
Denise and I have been passionate about riding motorcycles ever since we first met. Even before that… I bought a Honda CT 70 dirtbike when I was 12 or 13 years old and put many miles on it around potato fields and back roads in Fort Kent. When I first worked potato harvest for Denise’s […]
