Catching the night ferry to Ancona (Italy) I shared a cabin with a serious looking Croatian chap, with big bulgy eyes. After drinking most of my wine over dinner he cheered up a bit and I discovered that like many Croatians, in addition to his day job (nautical engineer) he also works with tourists on the side. In this case he has a 22m boat that he takes unwitting australian tourists around the Croatian islands. He also knew the Italian coast well, and suggested that riding up the east side (rather than crossing over the mountains to Umbria), perhaps as far as Verona shouldnt be too bad for a route if I wanted to clock up the miles. His advice turned out to be good.
