Jelah to Slavonski; 28th October
28th October
Left the BnB, the last one of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was very comfortable, but lacked some charm, unlike the previous night where the owner had been a professional handball athlete and the room was decorated with his memorabilia.
We took a dog legged route to the border to avoid the busier roads, with gentle, undulating roads for most of the day. There was a packed gravel section too, going through some woods.
We passed various farms with lots of animals outside like chickens, goats and even ostriches as well as a fair few churches and mosques.
We got to the border crossing at Slavonski Brod, the first Schengen country we have entered on this trip. I didn’t read the signage correctly and cycled into the section for cars, and was shouted at by the border guard, as cyclists were meant to dismount and go through the pedestrian passport control area.
After about 10 minutes of the guard staring at our passports and asking questions, she gave us the stamps and we were through into fortress Europe.
