War
I am ashamed to admit that I know next to nothing about the unpleasantness that accompanied the unravelling of Yugoslavia. I know there was a war but didn't expect to see any evidence of it and the last 3 days supported this view. But today was different. We cycled through an area that had clearly been the site of a major battle and past house after house that had been completely destroyed or was pock-marked with holes from munitions of all sizes. We then past a memorial to the local brigade who had lost a great many men....sobering stuff!!
On a lighter note, today the weather went from lovely to chuffing hot. Probably mid-90's in the early afternoon. We had a magnificent 76 to do today, including a big lump at the end, but we were heroic.
We are staying on a big camping resort in the middle of nowhere on an island. To give you some idea of the extortionate price of last night's patch of grass - we have a lovely little cabin with small kitchen and TWO bogs for €12 LESS. We cooked pasta for tea and are blowing the savings on wine :-)
