Sleeping under a Bus stop, visiting Dubrovnik & crossing to Montenegro | Cycling to Asia | Episode 8

Documentation and impressions of the bike tour around the world from Germany to Asia. This episode is about bikepacking cycling in Croatia. I started near Makarska where I was camping and took the Euro Velo 8 bike path. I also slept under a bus stop, cooked a lot and visited one of the Game of Thrones locations – the city of Dubrovnik. In the end I crossed the border into Montenegro – with beautiful landscapes. It was a great part of my trip.
