Default Croatia - Bank Holiday Weekend

If anyone has a few days off and wants to experience the best coastal road on the planet let me know and I'll post more info

My excuse is a few hours work on the Friday/Saturday - so maybe time enough for a ride to Dubrovnik and back.

Just awaiting prices for hire bikes - which may change dates and schedules. Flights at this stage will be from Stansted to Lublijana with Easyjet. Prob departing 22nd back 25th.

Won't be able to make it, too close to my euro trip. This caught my eye as my travel partner fancied Dubrovnic on our bike tour, but given our itinerary it's just too far.

Would definitely be interested in knowing how this goes, reference for a future 'raid' down that way.
