Today was the first time I have had an issue with crossing a country border, apparently the border police found traces of THC on Romain and my passports and they took us aside for questioning. They were not being aggressive and soon let us go but when I asked one of them if it was because of my look, well, more because of my hair he nodded his head. I actually doubt they tested our passports at all, only doing so to frighten us. They let us go after a few laughs.
Bosnia has about 15km of the coast so it didn't take us long to cycle back into Croatia we stopped for a beer and Burek (FILO pastry with meat, cheese or potato fillings) during sunset.
It takes no longer than half and hour between the sun setting and the night sky coming into action so we had to find a place to camp; a few hundred meters after crossing back into Croatia we found an inlet where we set up camp under a shelter beside some fishing boats.
It's beginning to be had to find the hours in the day to actually cover some decent distance but at least the weather is mild and very tolerable comparing it to the weather in the countries in Northern Europe where I started this trip; if I were to be still north of the Alps at this time of year I'd be frozen in a ditch somewhere.
