We drove here from the interior of Croatia through the ‘Northern Velebit’ National Park to the coast, near the island of Krk. The Northern Velebit is an exciting and rugged mountain area, known for its botanical richness and an exceptional view over the Adriatic Sea. When we reached the coast, we picked up a hitchhiker with a flat tire, a boy who planned to cycle around the Adriatic sea and then cross over to Italy by boat. But after we stowed his bike in the car with great difficulty, it soon became clear that he expected us to take him along the coastal road about 140 km southwards, to where the ferry departed. But we dropped him off halfway and so we ended up here at Prizna, facing the island Pag.
