The Balkans Campaign

Our plan was to get a Railpass and run throughout eastern Europe like the Wehrmacht. Turns out travel in the Balkans is not quite so easy. But, we made the best of it hitting five countries (Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia) and four UNESCO World Heritage sites (Kotor, Montenegro; Dubrovnik, Croatia; Mostar, Bosnia; and Nesebar, Bulgaria). All this within five days.

The first major stop was Kotor. Kotor was founded in the fifth century BCE. The Emperor Justinian built this massive wall over the city in 585 CE. Check it all out in Wikipedia.

The Walled City By Night

Kotor was a beautiful city, one which would be a great place to spend a few days. But, we had miles (or kilometres) to go. On to Dubrovnik!
