Cycling today: 47.4 kilometers · +503 m / -490 m
Cape Kamenjak is a protected nature park situated on the south of the Istrian peninsula near Pula. It is a part of Premantura, a small picturesque village only 10 km away from the town of Pula and Medulin. Cape Kamenjak is full of beautiful scenery, nature, charming sea caves, beaches and vivid cliffs. This ride today was a circular trip starting and finishing in Pula. It involved a lot of off road biking which again was challenging.
We stopped for lunch at the famous Safari Bar.
The story goes like this: a man decides to buy his own piece of land far away from people and crowds to live peacefully and in harmony with nature. After some time friends start to visit him, and little by little, piece by piece, he opens a bar and now, over 20 years of making and living it, Safari bar has became a sort of institution – a cult beach bar located in one of the most beautiful piece of land on our planet Malarowski Kolombarica Beach on Cape Kamenjak, Premantura, Croatia. The safari bar looks like it came from a fairy tale … The ‘walls’ and ‘ceiling’ are made up of live plants and bamboo canes that serve as dividers between one table and another. The tables and benches are simple cut logs or stones stacked, the “floor” is a bed of straw. Scattered throughout the bar then, there are the bizarre rides like a big slide made of ropes and wooden wheels, swings hanging from the branches of the trees that create the structure, large swivel wheels and so much more, the games are used but the signs experience “at their own risk and peril.” A real robinson paradise! Safari bar is located southermost spot of Cape Kamenjakalso known as Mala Kolombarica beach.
And a quick look around the markets on my last day!
Our final Day of cycling! Time to say goodbye………………
