We had our breakfast of cheeses and dry cured meat, and amazing coffee. We had our orientation with Pure Adventures and we felt like we were ready to go.
We did a quick little spin around Split - I recommend spending more time there, but I got in too late last night to really get to experience Split and the parks around the area. Next time, right?!
We headed off to see some views before our ferry ride to the Island of Brac
We found our way around town and onto the ferry ride to start our adventure of the day! Not knowing what to expect -
The Hills were tough but worth it, we found the PERFECT spot for lunch, although it took us a bit, the woman was wonderful, and we ordered Black Risotto, which I learned was Black because of the ink of the squid - I should say cuddle fish, which just sounds too cute. We also had a little Octopus Salad and of course - Pivo - a very tasty and awesome beer!
We then hit the hard hills and were so glad we had such a fantastic lunch!
We really learned a lot on our first day! A lot of problem solving skills, map reading skills, how to work together and motivate one another. The most rewarding was enjoying the food at the end of the day. We earned it! We worked for it. It really doesn't get much better.
We Rode nearly 30 miles today! 3,117ft in elevation gain. The toughest I have ever done. Hallie and Lindsey loved it, hated some parts of it, but at the end it is so rewarding, we can't wait to get on our bikes tomorrow!
