Stage 9: Montenegro, Republika Srpska, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Croatia
The next morning we walked through the small central area of Podgorica, the capitol of Montenegro.
We then took a bus through very rugged mountains.
We finally came to a river where we left Montenegro ...
... and then entered Bosnia & Herzegovina ...
... and, at the same time, Republika Srpska, which is, according to wikipedia, "one of two main political entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the other being the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Republika Srpska is defined in its constitution as a territorially unified, indivisible and inalienable constitutional and legal entity that shall independently perform its constitutional, legislative, executive and judicial functions."
We found a nice hotel in the central area of Sarajevo, the capitol of the Federation of Bosnia & Herzegovina, but unfortunately it rained the entire time we were there so we did not venture out too far.
We did get to know the girl at the front desk pretty well. She was interested in introducing our son Peter to her younger sister in London ... ;-)
The next morning we took the train to Zagreb, the capitol of Croatia.
It was a very interesting ride through farm lands, mountains and flooded areas.
Confusingly, on the other side of the Federation of Bosnia & Herzegovina, we re-entered Sprska once again, and made a stop at its capitol, Banja Luka.
It rained the whole time we were in Zagreb too. Fortunately our hotel was right across the street from the main train station.
