The trip Lozinj is not so much an out and back as a 'back'. Alen is arranged another van and is driving us and the bicycles down to Lozinj to see if we can make it back home. We all did!
We dodged the rain a few times but all in all a very nice ride back to the hotel in Cres. About half way back at the village of Osor. By that time it was a beautiful day for cycling.
We got back to Cres fairly early and I had a chance to make a quick hike into Cres (the town, Cres is also the name of the island). I hadn't made it into town the first afternoon because I had been busy with my favorite pastime -- laundry. But this afternoon I decided to make the trek in search of ice cream. It was really a nice town. Much nicer than it appeared from a distance.
That evening and the next morning it rained quite heavily. We were all quite happy that it had decided to rain on our rest day when we were not out on the bikes. But the rain was mostly over by noon so we were able to walk into town for Pizza and more site seeing. Incidentally the pizza in Croatia is excellent.
Tomorrow we are on the road again for the nearby island (and town) of Rab.
