from Bo north an unpaved road goes to Farska (five Houses ;-) )



on top a fantastic view on .................a Volkswagen (this was their offroad vehicle, graveltrack down)



later on a nice fishermens cottage


old historic cities


leaving the island at sundowner, the red lighted hills in the background are mainland and 5 mls apart

want more offroad? ok, lets go to Hvar (one of the ten most beautiful islands in the world)
Hvar is abaout 60km long and the first 52km are limited to 40 km/h an there is no overtaking allowed, because...


.....of this


what to do? lets find a offroad track, no busses, no speedlimit.....no rush hour
fortunately the only tunnel on the island ist closed for motorcycles


but there is a way, not through the hill but across, view to the neighbour island Brac (you remember)
in background Makarska riviera


going steep uphill is difficult sometimes, standing still means going down...

but then, early at 10 am the nameless hill is yours alone


view to seaside Island Korcula and the small island Scedro


later, way south, it looks bit like australia, red greasy loam


no i´m not a pussy, but, if you remember, i lost my front mudguard

my next kilometers downhill, very funny


and sometimes you find a way down, small, overgrown. no other man till 3 hours (thats extraordinary in europe..)
to a lonesome bay, cooling down the offroader in the sea



on the way back to Starigrad (means old city) a little bit Rallyefeeling

Were all the stills photos taken with your HD Hero?

I have been waiting to see photos taken with the HD Hero to see what they were like. If these are the quality of the stills, I am going to buy one.
