I’ve spent most of the past 10 days in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Dubrovnik (Croatia). Apart from the weather, Sarajevo was great…beautiful city, nice people, good food, etc. It is also very good value for money. On the road to Croatia you can see a lot of beautiful, snow-capped, rocky mountains. It is an interesting drive, as you actually go from Bosnia to Croatia, then back to Bosnia (for its 10 km of coastline) then into Croatia again.

While Dubrovnik is a nice place, it is clearly overrun with tourists. It seems that prices have shot up a lot in the past few years and are now on par with pretty much anywhere else in Europe (Greece, for example). Still, it is a very beautiful place and was worth going. The train back (from Ploce) was interesting, a relic from the 70s or 80s.
