Monday 18th July - we have only just arrived in Petrcane...and already we have some stories to tell!
At 9pm last night, we were still saying goodbye to the Brzic family in Zadar. With the sun having already set, we knew the ride to Petrcane would be a little bit fraught (my Petzl headtorch also doubles as my bikes headlight. Given that I can barely light my way to the toilet at night, I wasn’t at all surprised by how useless it turned out to be on that night ride!)
We had already clocked our campsite earlier in the day when we first visited Petrcane in Zvone’s car. At night however, the camping proposition was far less alluring! Our campsite was predictable; a cemetry. However, the ground around the perimeter was gnarled and jagged…and there didn’t seem to be much of an option in the cemetry either. The only possibility was a rather weird and eerie shed on the northern perimeter. Filled with rat droppings, spare tyres, shoes and clothes – this was the kind of place where horror stories are born.
Despite all of the places I’ve slept thus far, even I didn’t fancy kipping in such a place. Kez certainly wasn’t game. With the pall of darkness shrouding the landscape, we had to get creative….
& so it was that we ended up sleeping on the roof of the shed. Take a look at the video below to see the rather nice view that we had this morning…
