95km plus 20km in Mostar - Total 2,410km
Yesterday Dermot was missing being on the bike so we rode up a hill on the outskirts of Mostar. Great view, and we met a couple of dog handlers who had a 2 Belgian Shepherd dogs in their truck - they are searching for mines - not in this area but between here and Sarajevo. They find about one mine per week.

Today we headed for the Cero Trail - a railtrail from Mostar to Dubrovnik - there's a bit of info on the internet, but we couldn't find a map or get any details of what to expect along the way. Fortunately it turned out to be great. It's mainly on roads. South from Mostar we followed the Neretva River Valley.
Then past a couple of lakes. Temperature up around 36 deg.

The 400m climb was on a narrow winding road in 36deg heat! Tough!! The last 20km for the day was directly following the old railway line, so nothing too steep, no traffic, great views.
Then we were in luck finding a really nice hotel to stay at. Designed by an architect. great food, wine, proscuito and a comfy bed.
