Bay of Kotor

Some say it's the most beautiful bay in the world. I do not know many, but it was the prettiest I've seen until that day.
It is very close from croatia, and it is an amazing one day trip.
You can go around the bay by car, but the harder it is to keep your eyes on the road.
The view is delightful.


Exploring the fortress.

An unexpected inhabitant.
Around the fortress images fill our eyes.

Undoubtedly was one of the most beautiful places I visited.

Ha(a)rlem in Dutch

The starting point of this one-day visit was the historic train station of the city. Historic because it was part of the first rail of the Netherlands (1839).

In the center (Vleeshal - old meat market).
And of course, a lot of channels...
...and bicycles.
(Grote Kerk).

Mostar

During our stay in Croatia we scheduled one-day visit to the Bosnian town of Mostar. The references were positive and the fear was zero...

...until this sign!!! : (Dubrovnik in front - Sarajevo right).
I admit that there was some anxiety at the entrance of the country...
...but the initial scenario was nice.


Small town of Percitelj (on the way to Mostar).
On the entrance to Mostar the scenario becomes more scary. More movement, more fearful expressions, and buildings decorated with bullet holes.


The surprise was in the center and on the banks of the River Neretva. A cozy old town :)





(Stari Most) - The historic old bridge.
I heartily recommend :)

Primosten

This was the first city we visited in contact with the Dalmatian Coast.
Was recommended by some friends and it turned out a little wonder.

On the way...
Once was an island but is now connected to the mainland by a bridge.
The city, which looks like a fortress, is well preserved and allows us to attend a fabulous landscape.

Finding Krka National Park

It was a complicated day. The park seemed to be getting further away but the landscape was always admired :)
At one point I thought: "We are lost!" :)
This was it ... we have entered in a war zone :)
Finally ... we had access to the park without realizing how.
