BIKER RALLY IN OMIŠ AND A TRIP TO ČAVOGLAVE

omiš croatia
Every year, last weekend in September is reserved for the biker rallye in Omiš, which is always successfully organised by Omiški gusar motorcycle club. This surely is one of the most beautiful places for a rallye in Croatia, and I have to say, this is my favourite one. What proves it is the fact that last year was my fifth year in a row that I visited this rallye, while Ivan visited it twice😀

This time, unfortunately, we could only set off on Saturday. We expected to arrive at Omiš fairly late, and booked a room, so we wouldn't have to pitch our tent. Plus finding a free spot on Saturday evening would be like winning a jackpot😀
We only stopped once, in Knin, for a quick break and to fill the tank. The rest of the trip seemed to last forever😀 When we finally reached Split it was already getting dark, so we cruised by the sea into the sunset. In Omiš, we were welcomed by rakija(moonshine😃). Our crew did not know that we would be there and were very surprised! We left our stuff in the room and went to grab a bite, check the bikes out and hang out. It was pretty late and we were pretty tired when we got back to our room.

We got up early to say bye to our crew, since we decided to take a different route back home. We packed our stuff and went for a burek(I can't remember the name of the place but they make the best burek in Omiš). We headed to Čavoglave, a very popular place in Dalmatinska Zagora. We were greeted by a tank, which was given to Čavoglave by The Croatian Homeland war veteran association. We did not visit the Church of Croatian martyrs, but we surely will the next time we visit.

We rode through Zagora, surrounded by the beautiful scenery and magnificent nature, but also by the cruel Croatian reality - dozens of abandoned homes, which make a very sad picture. The weather was beautiful, perfect for exploring our beautiful Croatia. Soon we reached Lika, the region perfect for motorcycles. Wide road, picturesque nature, mountains that surround us - something like a Croatian Route 66!😊 Since we were feeling a bit peckish, I phoned my dad to ask for the description of the route to this restaurant he had been telling me about. The restaurant is called Robert and is very famous among truck drives, who make it their regular stop.

We parked our bike and entered the restaurant, which is not the most luxurious place, but we don't need it anyway. We ordered bean soup, burgers and fries. We had heard that the portions are impressive, but did not expect them to be that huge! Pot of bean soup, two big burgers, homemade fries and one bottle of mineral water for only 60 kuna(less than 10€)!! The food is great and so is the price, so if you find yourself hungry in Lika, I would definitely recommend Robert! I also believe that nowhere in Croatia you can find such good food and big portions at such low price.
We were so overeaten that we could barely climb on the bike😂 On the way to Karlovac we rode pass our beautiful Plitvice and Rastoke, and arrived at Karlovac in the afternoon.

I wish we could have gone to Omiš at least a day earlier, but I am also very happy because we had such a nice time. We are looking forward to the next rallye in Omiš, which we definitely will not miss! See you next year in Omiš!
