Er...tomatoes?
4 years agoThey do on our continent. There are a few different species, but they’re all uniformly black. The family is more diverse in Europe.
4 years agoAnd here I thought crows only came in all-black!
4 years agoNow that's a useful link. I just need to get myself to Croatia someday!
4 years agoI stand corrected. I guess the slash is more specific for other prohibitions.

It could be. They just took over the company about eight years ago, so maybe they haven’t ruined it yet.
4 years agoHmmm. I dislike both Molson Canadian and Coors Light but maybe they are subsidizing some good beers?
4 years agoI think it means no trucks. I was surprised to learn a few years ago that just the red circle, without a slash, means something's forbidden.
4 years agoHa! Well, back in the mid 70s I was in Germany for 2 years. Part of getting a driver's license included understanding their signs, and missing even one on the test was a failure. I really studied the signs and passed first time.
4 years agoMy goodness, Bill. Flowers, reptiles, and now traffic signs! You’re a cornucopia of information.
4 years agoSlash means no.
4 years agoThanks for the link! I don’t recall for sure now, but I don’t think I ever read this journal. I certainly didn’t know you’d travelled through this part of Croatia. Disappointing - we thought we were pioneers!
I read with interest your ride to Opitija, because we’re bound that way ourselves in a few days after our loop over to Plitvice Lakes. Too long and too hard of a day for us old folks though - we’ll be staying overnight in Delnice to break it up into hopefully manageable bites.
Yes, it's feeling rather apocalyptic out here. As I write Medford and Salem areas in OR are being hit hard. You would not be riding much if you were still in the Pacific Northwest because of the smoke. I've hardly ridden the past 3+ weeks, just short jaunts. Exercise is usually a gentle walk when the air quality improves a little. Keeping our fingers crossed for the Grumbys.
4 years agoHi Folks,
Looks like you are having a wonderful trip so far in Croatia. Some of the pic's from your post today looked so familiar to us ... and then I checked the maps. We rode the same route as you from Donje Stative to Vukova Gorica (in reverse direction) back on 1 Oct 2017, a perfect fall day. https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/ltkk2017/goldilocks-day-55-zagreb-to-bosiljevo/
Your comment about riding along the Dobra being 'magical miles' is so true. We rode into Donje Stative from the north along the Dobra, still remember that feeling. Hope you two have many great fall days ahead of you.
Regards,
Kirsten & Lyle
Wow!
