Description

A day along the coast, with the sound of the sea in my ears and refreshing stops in the water - could it get any better? The journey took me across the border to Bosnia, where I paid with the convertible mark. In the evening, I was treated to a curious sight: a group of Chinese travellers dancing to Bosnian folk songs. A refreshing example of the cultural diversity offered by this trip.
