Frontline ​

My goal on this day was to make up for the hours spent on the bad road the previous day and make good progress in consuming those miles.

In the morning I visited an impressive orthodox church in Drvar.

The ride out of town could have been in the forests around Vienna, 30 km later or so, I got to scenery like in the Bible Belt of the United States, barren landscape, no shade whatsoever to fend me off the heatr..

Some other bad memories: you have road signs, in Latin and Cyrillic letters and on almost all the signs, the Cyrillic was crossed out or simply painted black..

Passing a large artificial lake called Lake Busko, it was yet again an uphill battle, and a battle it was, as the road was being constructed, so it was all gravel.

Finally, I ended in Tomislavgrad, yet again having a good motel for a great price. As usual in Bosnia, the town was in full motion, the hotel where I first went to was booked out due to a large wedding.

It was quite a good biking day, I covered some 150 kilometers - so while I do not exactly remember, I guess I must have slept really well.
