Re: Italy: Venice to Ancona or else

hello kati! forgot to tell you about using busses in croatia,but ivo already did.it is very important in case you have to ride along the coastroad.,which is full of trucks and busses and everything. road is sometimes too narrow,and for a cyclist too dangerous. for example you could take a bus when you finished the penninsula peljesac and hit the mainland the last kilometers until dubrovnik.-another hint: during this time of the year you dont have to worry about shelter and you dont need all that heavy camping stuff. there is lot of private offers like b&b or small hotels at very low expenses.-very good idea to start in pula .you will find a ferry to cres-losinj,and then youll find your way south via pag,ugljan,pasman etcet. after that is the only way to split via mainland,but you can take the small parallel-road a few km inland.from split i would recommand the ferry to korcula and after crossing the island,the boat to peljesac and so on until dubrovnik.
have a safe trip! fred
