Before we take off, we made a quick loop around the city and said our good-byes.

We took the long scenic and toll-free road up the coast.

It was wild and free of towns and villages.

We enjoyed the drive so much that we decided to pull over when the sun set so we wouldn’t miss any of the drive because of darkness. We pulled into a public parking lot in the little seaside town of Karlobag. You usually have to pay per hour during the day in the busy season but the ticket machine was shut down today thanks to the off-season.

This view is exactly what I needed for our first night back on the road after a few hectic days dealing with government employees and packing.

It’s a bit chilly, probably in the 40s right now but look at this view. Love it.
