First day in Croatia was excellent cycling on quiet roads to Osijek a university town with a pleasant old quarter in side some walls. A good guesthouse and a tasty traditional spicy river fish stew with a bowl of noodles made for a good night.
Thursday was rather less successful with a 50 mile trip on busy main roads and ending with a few 10% hills...had to be done but not pleasant cycling.
Unfortunate the lasting effects of their war with Serbia are all too apparent with bullet holes still maring many buildings and houses...
With a bit of luck once they both join the EU such things wont be repeated.
Our hotel on the Danube is more peaceful as the picture shows!
Tomorrow over the bridge to Serbia...we reckon we have about 760 miles left which is pretty good as Carol told me the whole ride was 2300 miles...and we've already done 1050!!!

I thought Eurovelo routes were only allowed to have gradients of less than 6%. Perhaps you are off piste!
Thanks for email. Good luck with last leg of trip although we are totally confused by your Maths....thought you had done 2000 miles already???!!!
Lots of love
