The Balkans in 12 days: Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro by road
Zagreb → Plitvice → Split → Mostar → Sarajevo → Kotor → Dubrovnik
Lakes in sixteen terraces, a Roman emperor's palace that became a city centre, a rebuilt bridge that still means everything, a capital where four religions share a street, and a bay so enclosed people call it a fjord — three countries, one car, and borders you cross before lunch.
