Saturday 20 June: ZADAR to home

An early alarm gives us time to carry the bike boxes out of the old town and to grab a takeout coffee and croissant from our favourite bakery. The taxi driver is punctual at 7.30 and we have an easy drive to Split Airport. Chaos awaits us - we must remember to try and avoid Saturday transfers. We are escorted through the crowds with our enormous boxes and the check in is relatively easy. Then follows a long snaking queue to get through security. Sadly it seems these airports have taken on more than they can deal with and we wonder how they will cope in July and August. We take off on schedule and have an uncomfortable attempt at a nap on the way. Bikes and bags all arrive safely too and we are home in Topsham by 2pm. To cherish many happy memories of an excellent holiday.
