Arriving at Hvar Island

Kathi's encounter with a dump truck and Max on Hvar Island

Near this turn a dump truck was coming around the tight bend in the narrow road.

Chris was following Kathi.

Kathi was closely following Max. Max chose to stop, worried about room for the truck.

Kathi was too close, so tried to go around Max, but clipped him with her left handle bar.

And, down she went, over the edge about 2 or 3ft down. Fortunately her bike stayed on the road instead of following her over the cliff.

But Max went down on top of Kathi's bike, then he too went over the cliff almost onto Kathi.

Kathi didn't know it at the time, but she strained her back which troubled her especially for the following week.



These two photos are from Jan.
