there are no photos - there were no time for them(

I'll insert what I have)

Already in the evening, having returned again to the lands of Croatia, there was no hope for anything good. Ahead of us was a long serpentine down. And this is the whole incident....What could be easier than the descent. But, the conclusion is this.

Vanin's right sneaker is worn out to the ground, almost in the trash, covered with brake pads on the front brakes, and a terrible squeak of brakes, like from a shabby minibus. Ahaahp. . . we were scared of cars passing by.

No matter how ridiculous it may sound, but seeing no other way out, we tried to stop. We urgently needed to get to the nearest big city. After all, it was no longer possible to go further. The rear brakes have been gone for a long time, the front ones are barely fury, and only “1” remained from the gears, which made the legs spin like a drum on a straight road.

Several cars stopped, but they were all crowded with passengers and things. That's why we didn't even try to ask.

With grief in half, we got to Buzet, putting our camp under the lanterns in a field 2 km from the entrance to the city. We had a tough day ahead of us.
