Breakfast and packed up and then heading west. That’s not that easy as the main roads go in north-south direction. So up and down some mountains, often slowly behind busses until we got to the coastal road. After about 2,5 hours we reached Jablanac, the place where the ferry leaves to the island of Rab. We were lucky and could squeeze onto the next ferry as one of the last cars. First impression of the island: very rocky, hardly any vegetation, very dry. We drove all the way (ca. 25 km) from the south to the north of Rab, to a peninsula called Lopar. Planned to camp again but the campsite of San Marino was extremely crowded and ugly. The tourist offices weren’t helpful or open so we looked for a room ourselves. Rab is full with tourists at the moment but we quite easily found a nice apartment overlooking the bay, a big balcony where we saw the beautiful sunsets each night. Had our pasta there and went to the beach – and again early to bed…
