Today: Zagreb - Slavonski Brod, the longest ride on the road to Istanbul: 212 km crossing half of Croatia. If this would have been a race, today would have been a sprinters' stage. Mostly flat with only one fourth category climb in the middle.
Croatia: totally different from Slovenia. The most impressive day so far. I hadn't expected the signs of the Balkan War still being so omnipresent. All along the way I saw hundreds and hundreds of houses abandoned or never finished. Dozens of villages are semi-deserted and a lot of houses still are full of bullet holes. I tried to imagine the story behind each house. The blinds are closed, the doors are locked.Where are all these people now?
Thank you Darko and father for hosting me in your house at the edge of Slavonski Brod! Another A+++ warmshowers experience.
