After 2 days on board the Romantica, we were well settled into our holiday from our normal travel routine. The company that operated the tour is German and so, pleasingly, we now have a very international group of new friends. We were about 31 with a mix of Germans, Swiss, Italian, Swedish, US and Australians. The two young girls who were the guides are both Croatian as is the ship Captain and crew. The whole group worked and played very well, despite language difficulties.
We joined the group on time around mid day last Saturday in Trogir. Some people lost baggage en route so we were a little delayed getting out of the harbour. But the first day worked out well enough with an hour or so on the bike at Split followed by dinner and a short guided walk through Diocletian's Palace where we had been a day or so before by ourselves.
We slept on board in Split port which was a bit noisy at times for some although R had no trouble in his below deck cabin. The next day we sailed for about an hour to Omis on the mainland where we had a great ride for almost 5 hours along the Cetina River valley then steadily climbing up about 600 metres into the hills behind the valley. A separate group decided to go river rafting instead of biking but this was a softer option as the rafting was not difficult.
