Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina – A Bridge Over Troubled Water
It is the final morning of our journey with Pedal and Sea Adventures and it starts promisingly enough with this sunrise and will continue as we visit an entirely new county, Bosnia and Herzegovina, not once but twice today. Join Alison and me as we explore the city of Mostar and find that its troubled […]

Cetina River White Water Rafting – A Different Side of Croatia
It’s day six of our Croatian cycling trip with Pedal and Sea Adventures and Mother Nature has reneged on her previous policy of one nice day followed by one crappy one, weather wise that is. Yesterday the weather was lousy and it is again today – heavy rain. Well, screw you M.N., we’ve got a […]

Brac Croatia – Exploring the Dalmatian Isle on an eBike
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. This was taken as we approached Sumartin in the late afternoon. The sunny skies […]

Korcula Island – A Perfect Day of Cycling on the Dalmatian Coast
It goes without saying that people like me, who write travel blogs, love to travel. Why we do this is an age old a question Herodotus first posed well over two thousand years ago. I’m not going to try to wax eloquent about the reasons because I’m no Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson or Herodotus, for […]

Korcula Town – Walking in the Footsteps of Marco Polo
Originally I had planned to describe our time on Korcula island and in particular the town as part of the previous post, but realized that this charming little place deserves it’s own entry. When we left off, we were just leaving the island of Hvar on the Azimut to make the passage to Korcula island and specifically Korcula […]

Hvar Island Croatia – Cycling from Jelsa to Sucuraj
This is the second full day of cycling on a Dalmatian odyssey with Canadian travel company Pedal and Sea Adventures. After yesterday’s debacle whereby I managed to accidentally extend the first full day of cycling by an extra 22 kms. (14 miles) because I wasn’t listening to our guide Mario’s instructions, I fully expected to […]

Hvar Town – Cycling to the Dalmatian Island’s Capital by Mistake
In the last post I described a really delightful and historically informative cycling trip between Stari Grad, Jelsa and Vrboska on the Croatian island of Hvar. After returning to Stari Grad we boarded our boat, the Azimut, for a nice lunch and listen while our guide Mario describes this afternoon’s ride which is going to be […]

Hvar Island Croatia – Cycling Through an Ancient Landscape
We’ve just spent our first night on board the Azimut in the small village of Milna on one of the Dalmatian islands, Brac at the beginning of a week long cycling trip through the Dalmatian islands with Pedal and Sea Adventures. As I wrote in the last post there is only Alison and me and one […]

Dalmatian Islands by Bike and Boat with Pedal and Sea Adventures
In the last post I described how and why Alison and I ended up sailing the Dalmatian islands on the motor yacht Azimut with a crew of seven and only four passengers. This Dalmatian odyssey is organized by the Nova Scotia based Pedal and Sea Adventures which offers six different Croatian itineraries. We dropped our luggage […]
