Day 36

We rose from our from beds early and headed in different directions, James to a Yamaha shop to look for new clothes and me to a hardware store to look for the right sized allen key!

The oil was changed on Roger fairly quickly and James returned back with lots of lovely new kit to keep him warm.

We had a quick bite of lunch in the breakfast room of our hotel, then got packed up and headed for the A1 south towards Zadar, where we were booked in for the night.

It was lashing down with rain so we were in full wet weather gear and we then noticed the temperature dropping as we motored further on! All of a sudden we noticed sleet falling and then James came in over the radio saying "Mate is it snowing?" The more we drove on the larger and heavier the flakes became and our speed dropped from 70mph down to 50mph. We then decided to pull off and wait as it was getting a tad hairy!

We found a small service stop and a very helpful guy who offered to call us a van that we could put our bikes into and take us to non-slippy roads! This chap turned up and we loaded, with some difficulty, the bikes into his VW Transporter! We went back to his village where he'd booked us a Motel for the night, run by The Chief! We had a lovely meal and talked about our strategy for tomorrow.

Look at the size of that shot glass!

Only 75miles knocked out today.
