00:00And if I say that my tiredness is gone after seeing these views, I would be lying.
00:31Assalam Alekum and Good Morning Everyone from Croatia.
00:35First of all, let me show you the view of the Mediterranean Sea from my room.
00:39Which is hidden in the clouds.
00:41It was raining a lot yesterday.
00:43It was raining in the morning as well.
00:45But fortunately, the rain has stopped now.
00:47My room is in a very beautiful place.
00:50It's right next to the highway.
00:52So I didn't have to enter the city.
00:54And it's cheap as well.
00:56The view from here is amazing.
00:58It would have been amazing if the sun had risen.
01:00But it's because of the clouds.
01:02But it's okay. At least it's not raining.
01:04I slept early yesterday as I was very tired.
01:07That's why I woke up early today.
01:09I have packed my stuff as well.
01:11I have a few small things left to pack.
01:15Then we will start the ride.
01:17But first, let's have breakfast.
01:19I am very hungry.
01:21I will share my plans with you as soon as we start the ride.
01:29Extra cheese.
01:30Thank you very much.
01:31Okay.
01:32Perfect.
01:33Good morning.
01:34How did you sleep?
01:35Good?
01:36Good?
01:37Are you okay?
01:38You want to...
01:39Yeah!
01:40Bravo!
01:41Bravo!
01:42I know you are here.
01:45Good?
01:46Good.
01:47Are you okay?
01:58Bismillah.
01:59Rahman Rahim.
02:00Subhan Allah.
02:01Assalamu Alaikum.
02:02Let's start the day.
02:03We have to leave from here first.
02:05It's quite a steep climb.
02:07It's in the middle of the mountains.
02:11But Alhamdulillah, everything will be fine.
02:13Check it out.
02:28Where do we have to go now?
02:32I think we have to go up.
02:34There's a highway up there.
02:35Okay.
02:44This is a very small city.
02:47It's close to Rakheka.
02:49Rakheka is a big city.
02:51There's an airport as well.
02:53It's close to Rakheka.
02:55Rakheka is a big city.
02:57There's an airport as well.
02:59Cheap flights like Ryanair or EasyJet come to this airport.
03:03This is the Mediterranean Sea.
03:06Is it not Mediterranean?
03:08It's Adriatic.
03:09Sorry.
03:10Maybe it's Adriatic.
03:12I don't understand this.
03:14I think it's Adriatic.
03:16I had two options for today's route.
03:19I am taking the main route along the coast.
03:23The coast here is one of the most beautiful coasts in the world.
03:26I have already been here.
03:28I had traveled here by car.
03:30And I realized how beautiful it is.
03:32The curves and the views are amazing.
03:35People come from far off places to drive on the coast.
03:39So our plan for today is to go there.
03:42After that, if the weather is fine,
03:45I might go a little inland.
03:47I will go to Plitvice National Park.
03:49I have already been there.
03:51It's the main national park.
03:53The waterfalls there are quite famous.
03:55But that depends on the weather.
03:57If the weather is fine, I will go there.
03:59It's a 1.5 hour detour.
04:01If the weather is not fine,
04:03the weather along the coast
04:05gets better as I go further.
04:07I rode yesterday.
04:09It was raining all the way.
04:11I don't want to go in the rain again.
04:14So we will check the weather for 2 hours.
04:17I think it's a 2 hour ride along the coast.
04:19After that, I will decide
04:21whether I will go inland or not.
04:24Apart from that, my plan was
04:27to enter the border of Bosnia
04:29near the Plitvice National Park.
04:31Bosnia has a small city called Bihar.
04:33I wanted to enter from there.
04:35But I am not sure
04:37whether I will be allowed to enter or not.
04:39Yesterday, I asked a Bosnian
04:41and he said that Bosnia is open
04:43only for Bosnian nationals.
04:45The border must be under control there
04:47as he is not a member of the European Union.
04:50As soon as you enter,
04:52you will have to show your passport.
04:54I am not sure about that.
04:56If I am not allowed to enter from there,
04:58my 2-3 hours will be wasted.
05:01If I ride for 2-3 hours in the rain
05:03and come back from there,
05:05it will be a bad day.
05:07But let's see.
05:09Let's try and see how the experience is.
05:12// Music //
05:37I have just come out of Rijeka.
05:40Our ride will pass through these small villages.
05:43This part of Croatia
05:45is close to Italy.
05:47So there are a lot of Italians here.
05:50There is an Italian influence.
05:52It's a similar culture.
05:54We are on the road next to the ocean.
05:57You will see that the road is very beautiful.
06:00As soon as we leave this village,
06:02there is a highway ahead.
06:04We are not gonna take it.
06:06There are two types of roads here.
06:08The small country roads.
06:10To ride on the highway,
06:12just like there are toll plazas in Pakistan,
06:14they have a similar system.
06:16It's quite expensive.
06:18It's not that cheap.
06:20If you want to ride for 250 km,
06:22you will have to pay 10-15 Euros.
06:24But these country roads are free roads.
06:26There are no tolls on them.
06:28The views are good from here
06:30and it's free as well.
06:32The speed here is between 50 and 80 kmph.
06:34In most sections,
06:36there will be 50 kmph in the village
06:38and 80 kmph outside the village.
06:40We will take this road today.
06:42If I decide to go to Plitvice for the second time,
06:46we can take the highway from there
06:48so that I don't reach too late.
07:00The views have started to come.
07:02I think today's ride will be one of the best.
07:05The last one was also good
07:07but this one is different.
07:09It was more of mountains.
07:11The views will be different today.
07:13We will enjoy a lot.
07:15I will do it and so will you.
07:17I will try to edit it well.
07:35We have just entered Sinj.
07:37The stretch from Sinj to Prezna
07:39is the most beautiful stretch of this highway.
07:41It's not a highway.
07:43It's a country road.
07:45We will get petrol from somewhere in Sinj.
07:47The weather is good here.
07:49But when we will leave Sinj,
07:51there will be some high peaks.
07:53The peaks will be in the mountains.
07:55So we will have to take a detour.
07:57We will have to take a detour.
07:59We will have to take a detour.
08:01We will have to take a detour.
08:03There are some high peaks.
08:05There are some small peaks.
08:07You can see the clouds in front of you.
08:09The speed here is 50 kmph.
08:11I am going at 60 kmph.
08:15The GoPro is giving me a lot of trouble today.
08:17Maybe it got stuck in the water yesterday.
08:19Maybe it got stuck in the water yesterday.
08:21It's getting stuck again and again.
08:23I hope it doesn't get stuck again.
08:25Otherwise, I will have to buy a new GoPro.
08:27Otherwise, I will have to buy a new GoPro.
08:29I only have a GoPro 7 for vlogging.
08:31I have a GoPro 7 and a GoPro 8.
08:33Let's see what's ahead.
08:35There must be a petrol pump ahead.
08:45The road down there was so beautiful.
08:49Let me show you the road down there.
08:51It was so beautiful.
08:53Even though we have to go from the top.
08:55But let's take a detour.
08:57Let's take a detour.
08:59The road next to the coast down there was so beautiful.
09:01The road next to the coast down there was so beautiful.
09:08But we can't turn from here.
09:10We will have to go through Gol Chakar and come back.
09:12We have reached here.
09:19Amazing!
09:23The views are different from the rest of the day.
09:28Maybe it's because of the mountains.
09:30My eyes were watery since the last few days.
09:33So we decided to do something different.
09:40I wanted to have a cup of coffee.
09:42But I am thinking of having it in Prezna.
09:45Let's leave it here.
09:49I don't feel like having it now.
09:57Let's go.
09:59Let's go.
10:25What a road and what a weather!
10:27Amazing!
10:29I am enjoying it as much as I did yesterday.
10:33Especially since I drove from here.
10:37I came here last year.
10:39Since then, I wanted to do this road on my bike.
10:43And today that dream has come true.
10:45It's really amazing.
10:47Especially on a bike.
10:49The curves are amazing.
10:53I have taken a short break.
10:55I have taken some pictures for Instagram.
10:59My session is over now.
11:01So let's go down to Prezna.
11:05I will have something to eat there.
11:07And then we'll see what to do next.
11:25Prezna
11:29This is the petrol pump.
11:31Let's get it filled from here.
11:37It's coming out from the top.
11:41The currency of Croatia is Kuna.
11:43And 1 Euro is equivalent to 7.5 Kuna.
11:47The petrol here is almost 1.05 Euro.
11:51Compared to other countries,
11:53Prezna was a bit more expensive.
11:55I can see a coffee shop here.
11:59Let's sit here and have some coffee.
12:01And decide where to go next.
12:07This is the cappuccino.
12:09We have a special thing in this bag.
12:13Check this out.
12:15The Italian lady
12:19gave me a homemade cake.
12:21It must be full now.
12:25Let's check this out.
12:29What happened to the cake?
12:31Let's check if it's okay.
12:33The cake is quite heavy.
12:35Full of sugar.
12:37But it's homemade cherries.
12:39That's why it looks tasty.
12:41But I can't finish it all.
12:43So I will eat as much as I can.
12:45I will have some coffee.
12:47I have decided to go to Plitvice National Park.
12:49Just for you guys.
12:51I have already been there.
12:53But it's a very beautiful place.
12:55I think it will take a while to get there without the Croatia trip.
12:59So I will go there now.
13:01But I don't have enough time to get back to the coast.
13:05So I will try to stay there for the night.
13:07If I find a good place.
13:09Otherwise, I can try to cross the Bosnian border from there.
13:13If they let me.
13:15Let's see.
13:17Plitvice National Park is about 2 hours away from here.
13:21I am going there just to show you how beautiful it is.
13:27The waterfalls are beautiful.
13:29But the weather is showing me that it's going to rain.
13:33So hopefully it won't rain.
13:35Otherwise, it will be drizzling.
13:37This route is for the main bikers.
13:41So I am moving away from it.
13:47Plitvice National Park
13:49Plitvice National Park
14:15We have reached Plitvice National Park.
14:17The last ride was about 2.5 hours long.
14:19It took a lot of energy to get here.
14:23It took a lot of energy.
14:25I am so tired now.
14:27It was such a long ride.
14:29I was cursing myself internally.
14:31Why did I come here?
14:33I should have gone straight to the coast.
14:35It's quite cold here now.
14:37I am thinking of stopping somewhere
14:39and putting on my jacket.
14:41We are in the mountains again.
14:43I was enjoying the hot climate.
14:45This is the route I am taking now.
14:47It's a small route.
14:49It wasn't available on Google.
14:51I found it on maps.me.
14:53This will take me to the back side of the National Park.
14:57The view of the lakes is much better from here.
15:01I would have stayed on the main road.
15:03But as you can see,
15:05the condition of the road is very bad.
15:07But the locals use this route.
15:11That's why it's like this.
15:13I think the view of the lake will be clearer from here.
15:17We will go there together.
15:38Thank God the road is better now.
15:40There was no condition of the road at the back.
15:42But on the map,
15:44it was showing a small river.
15:46Let's see where the river has gone.
15:48This small river was looking like a drain.
15:51But it doesn't look like a river.
15:54Maybe it will become a river in the future.
16:03This is a very good route.
16:06It's made by maps.me.
16:10It's passing right next to the National Park.
16:15God knows.
16:17Let's see what's ahead.
16:19We came from the other side of the National Park.
16:22That's the main highway.
16:24Now we can see the lakes.
16:26The lakes will be on our right side.
16:29I think the waterfalls are on the other side.
16:32We will go towards them now.
16:35What a great reflection!
16:39Let's go.
16:55What a beautiful jungle, I swear!
17:10Wow!
17:22Look at the dog.
17:24He is sitting in the middle of the road.
17:26He is sitting in the middle of the road.
17:28But he didn't say anything good.
17:30Now we have to go to the waterfalls.
17:34The lakes are beautiful.
17:37But the waterfalls here are even more beautiful.
17:40When I came here last time,
17:42I went to a point where I am going now.
17:46Most people don't go there because they don't know about that point.
17:49So the view will be better from there.
17:51I have booked a hotel right next to it.
17:54I got the room from booking.com.
17:57We will stay there for the night.
18:01The best view of the waterfalls is from here.
18:04We will have to walk a little to get there.
18:07I have parked my bike here.
18:09Hopefully, no one will do anything to it.
18:11No one will take anything from it.
19:05We are here.
19:07Now we have to find...
19:09Where was it?
19:11I think this is the marinage.
19:13I have booked it.
19:16I have a reservation.
19:19Okay.
19:25Hello. Can I park here?
19:27Perfect. Thank you.
19:29Thank you. Perfect.
19:32The room looks nice.
19:34Yeah.
19:36Yeah.
19:40Okay.
19:44Okay. Thank you.
