Motorcycle travel series by @velimir 'Rijeka 5' (Part #132)

Never on a highway, eh? Well, sometimes you just got to bite the bullet and do it. This is one of those moments. So, I'm riding the highway with a bullet between my teeth and looking forward to eating something. This is the best entrance to Rijeka and so be it. Somehow, the sky in front of me doesn't look too promising. It is not the summer anymore and this image might bring rain.

And here I enter. The old buildings all around me. A truly beautiful city. I did a huge circumnavigation. I could have arrived here in half hour from Bakar. But hey, it is about riding, not about getting somewhere on time. :D

One cannot walk these streets without noticing the Old Austro-Hungarian style mixing with strong Italian architectural influences. A harmonious co-existence.

This is the place where the river enters the sea and this is how Rijeka (River) got its name.

One of the casual past times for elderly people is feeding pigeons with bread. Don't know why but every time I see this, I get a sad feeling. Is it because of their loneliness or just an unconscious realization that age will tear down everything and everyone, even the strongest, brightest and most beautiful among us?

Therefore, I suggest we all smile and enjoy every second of the good moments we have.

Enjoy your day! :)
