Finally in Lošinj to stop and look at the reflection of a very colorful boat. Lacko considers it the most creative thing they did that day.

They made it to Lošinj just in time to catch the festival of local cuisine.

Of course, they had to try it. 

A key part of the project was promoting tourism, and the official website has details of the key places visited during the day.
