Pot do Šibenika od naju ni terjala prevelikih naporov, mogoče zaradi tega, ker sva se na pedaliranje in usklajen ritem po dobrem tednu dodobra navadila. Pridobivala sva kondicijo in še toliko bolj uživala v pokrajini, ki se je odpirala okoli naju.
Prav zanimivo pa je dejstvo, da na tem delu nisva naredila veliko fotografij, saj sva se raje zatopila v vožnjo, v dihanje in nekoliko pusto a zanimivo naravo.
Proč od prašne ceste sva si ponovno skuhala kosilo in se skrivala pred soncem, ki je očitno hotelo povedati še nekaj zadnjih besed pred dokončnim zimskim počitkom.
Ko sva vstopala v Šibenik, ki je sicer lepo mesto, vendar polno grdih spominov na zadnjo balkansko vojno, se nisva veliko obremenjevala s fotografiranjem, saj sva vedela, da je na internetu veliko fotografij Šibenika in če bo potrebno pripeti kakšno že objavljeno, bova to storila.
V centru mesta sva našla čudovito, moderno knjižnico z razliko od Zadra z zelo prijaznimi knjižničarkami in skoraj zastonj internetom. Iskala sva gostitelje v Hospitality Clubu na najini nadaljnji poti.
Nisva se veliko zadrževala v knjižnjici in mestu samem. Odpeljala sva dalje, ven iz mesta, mimo predela, ki pa je ob najinem izhodu na prvi pogled delovalo malce zastrašujoče in dekadentno z morjem starim, propadajočih socialističnih blokov.
Prispela sva do trgovske cone in večjih trgovskih centrov ter nakupila nekaj hrane. Dolgo sva pedalirala, po razgibani cesti, se peljela mimo požarne cone, ki jo je bilo prav žalostno gledati. Kot je dobro znano, je Hrvaška, tako kot Grčija to poletje utrpela hude izgube zaradi večinoma podtaknjenih požarov.
Zopet sva zaradi težavnega terena komaj našla mesto za kampiranje. Tokrat sva se le odločila za kampiranje v bližini oljk, verjetno na privatem zemljišču. Noč je kljub temu minila mirno.

3.10.2007, DAY 9 - A hot day
This was probably the hottest day on our trip. Uncovered skin was burning and every now and then Azra saved us with a sun lotion.
The road to Šibenik was not demanding, maybe because after a week of cycling we found our rhythm and got used to it. We gained on our fitness and enjoyed the surroundings that opened before us.
It is interesting that we did not take lots of photos in these parts because we were so into cycling and breathing and the surrounding that was a bit bland.
Away from the dusty road we made ourselves lunch and were hiding from the sun that clearly wanted to make a last statement before get his winter nap.
When we were entering Sibenik, which is in fact a nice city but full of bad memories from Balkan war, we did not bother taking photos too much because we knew there were photos on the Internet and if we wanted to put some up we would.
In the city center we found a wonderful library, and unlike in Zadar the employees were very nice and the Internet was almost free. We were looking for Hospitality Club hosts.
We did not stay long in the library or the city itself. We cycled on out of the city, passing a site that looked a bit frightening with all those socialist styled buildings that were falling apart.
We arrived to shopping zone and shopping malls and bought some food. We cycled for a long time on an agitated road, trough by the fire destroyed zone, which was actually sad to see. Like most of you know that Croatia as well as Greece had lots of fires that summer and most of them were caused by a human set ups.
It took some time to find a camping place again because of unproper terrain. This time we decided to camp close to the olive trees witch was probably a private property. Despite that, the night was calm.
