Day 5 Korcula - Vela Luka

The morning is spent in the sun, eating delicious ice creams and not so delicious pastries. At 2 o'clock, we leave under the rain. We get completely soaked and all the beginning is uphill, yet we are happier than if we had stayed all the afternoon in Korcula. The end is a long and steep downhill section (60km/h) under the sun. We are very happy with the ride.


Vela Luka is not very appealing, from the people to the massive industrial halls close to the small harbour. We find some hills to do wild camping, but there are many terrasses with olive trees and abandonned stone houses. I am concerned about the mines, so we pitch the tent close to the road, in the most hidden place we could find. During the night, only one truck will take the gravelly road and we sleep well. It rains during the night, as usual.
