The way up from Luka Rovenska to the upper part of town wasn't as bad as expected, because the pedelecs only had to be carried up a few steps. At the top we rolled downhill, always very slowly and braking carefully. Anyone who has ever driven on smooth, polished pavement in a Mediterranean town knows what we are talking about. In the old port of Veli Lošinj we rewarded ourselves with refreshing delicacies in the Gelateria Beny, sitting directly on the old quay wall for the efforts of the past few minutes. It was difficult for us to leave this soothing place. Well rested, we then went about 28 km via the center of Mali Lošinj back to our base, the Lopari Camping Resort on the island of Lošinj. The camp is located between the towns of Osor, the main part of which is on the island of Cres, and the town of Nerezine. Osor is separated from the islands of Cres and Lošinj by the Osor Channel. It should be noted that there is a ban on cycling on the promenade in Mali Lošinj, which of course does not apply to some tourists and motorcyclists, and the attempt to take a shortcut through the premises of Lošinjska plovidba - Brodogradilište d.o.o. (Losinjplov - Shipyard Ltd.) is doomed to failure because of an insurmountable fence, which we also had to experience with great suffering. To do this, after the Privlaka swing bridge, you can exit road No. 100 again and continue cycling along Rujnica Street for a good distance, right next to the sea, although it is a one-way street to the Adria Oil BP Mali Lošinj gas station. But, as I said, there are certain exceptions for tourists and it can sometimes get tight on the foot-cycle path.
