Croatia: Climbing in Portafortuna

After the breakfast in our free camp, Nada and me visited the nearby climbing area called Portafortuna, characterized by sharp holds on compact limestone. You can find the pdf guide on this link: click. We climbed in sector D and successfully reached the top of 6 easy routes, Bašćanska direkt, 4a, 30 m, Bašćanska ploča, 4b, 30 m, Maratonček, 4b, 30 m, Moja prva, 4a, 27 m, Vulture, 5a, 25 m and Botanist, 4c, 25 m. After we run out of water we decided to move on and we rode to Baška, where we found ourselves a place in a camp. We decided to be the normal tourists for the rest of the day, drinking beer, eating, swimming and in the end we also visited a concert of The Elsewhere group, who played the mixture of jazz and world music on a local pier.

Time for tourism

 

In the memory of the Glagolitic alphabet and all Glagolits throughout Croatian history, the Baška Glagolitic path on the island of Krk was composed of sculptures in the shape of Glagolitic letters. Here we can see letters F and Č.

 

Wish for another beer came true
