Bol to Sumartin

Day 4 ride on the island of Brač from Bol. Long climb today and thankfully got to Sumartin before the storm hit.

Let's go day 4!

But before we go, taking heed of a little warning of walking around without shoes.

Go, Elaine, go!

Shoes on and up we go. We did about 500m in one long pull out of Bol

Overlooking Bol.

Made it back to our boat, waiting for us in Sumartin, before the storm.

If the storm is going to soak us, might as well go to the beach in Sumartin and get wet in the ocean first!

And here comes the storm!

Glad that's not our boat!

Sumartin to Supetar

Climbing, descending and a bit of shopping as a reward for energy well-spent!

Another big climb from Sumartin to Supetar, but only 420m this time. We were primed from yesterday's climb!

Roadside poppies are so beautiful against the grey stone walls.

Taking advantage of stretching whenever we can.

Shopping for Brač limestone. There are 20 limestone quarries on the island and each produces its own distinctive stone.

And down we go to Supetar!
