Yesterday I wrote about a perfect day of cycling on the island of Korcula after which we boarded our boat, the Azimut at Prigradica and motored for two hours to Sumartin on the island of Brac, Croatia where we spent the night.

Granby Zoo and Biking Mount Bromont Too
After a great night’s sleep amidst the Appalachian forest at Yamaska National Park it’s time for my son Dale and I to try something neither of us has done before – taking a chairlift up and biking down a ski hill and after that visiting Granby Zoo. But first we need a hearty breakfast and I’m […]
