Until there, I traveled all over Alpes Mountains, covered by vast fir tree forests, and snow for the highest mountains. And even in Slovenia where mountains are lower, I founded more or less the same geography and flora. No more now. The croatian border ("Hvatska") is a real border for the mediterranean climate too !
Now I see littles mountains and hills (between 200 and 1000 m of high), and no forest anymore : just a few groves, bush, and stones. A landscape dried and burned with the blue see where mountains are falling. It's beautifull. I can see not far the isles of Krk, Prvić, and Rab (orthographe is checked !) which relief color change in the sunrise and sunset.
But it's hard now to find a place to sleep : the ground is sloping everywhere, cover by stones, prickly bush as fir trees ! The best I can do is to go up on a hill closed to a village and look at a wasteland, a free space, a discret place. And there is the temperatur : I have no choice, I have to wake up at 5 a.m. if I want to do more than 20 km in the day. At 8 o'clock,it's too hot. At ten o'clock, I use my second bottle of water. At 12, I am burned and try to stop somewhere in the shadow (bar, restaurant, shadowed place) tu survive until 4 or 5 p.m. Then it's OK. If I start enough early, I can do 25 or 30 km between 6 and 12 co'clock. After, I can walk quietly without reproch myself to have done just 10 or 15 km in the morning... I have to to grow accustomed to this warmth. And I don't speak about my clothes soaed everydays by sweat... next wash will be welcome !
