Ljubljana, Slovenia
Lake Bled, Slovenia
Next I drove to Dubrovnik, Croatia for three days. This is Neum, Bosnia & Herzegovina. Bosnia & Herzegovina only has a few miles of coastline, but it splits Croatia.
Croatia just north of the Bosnia & Herzegovina border.

Dubrovnik, Croatia
The entire old city of Dubrovnik is enclosed by a large wall/fortress that was built in the 1400s.
Courtyard inside the old city. This was next to the pharmacy, which has been operating since 1317 and is thought to be the oldest in Europe.
Inside the old city.
Storm brewing over Dubrovnik.
The old city of Dubrovnik is the piece of land sticking out into the ocean on the right side.
Armored vehicle from the 1991 War for Independence.
This was in a cemetery in the middle of Croatia. I'm not sure what it says other than it is a grave and has 24 names on it, but clearly it is a hammer and sickle with a star on top from the old Yugoslavia days. I couldn't see a date either.
This is an eldery woman putting up hay along the road in northern Croatia.
I took a bus tour of Montenegro one day. The country is very small, but entirely mountainous, so was very pretty. These are two small islands with only churches on them.

Kotor, Montenegro. This was another town enclosed by a wall. The town was established around 150 BC and the wall was built around 500 AD.
Bay of Kotor, Montenegro
Budva Beach, Montenegro. Many VIPs spend their vacations here. There were yachts everywhere. It's hard to tell from this picture, but the entire beach along the whole picture is nice and sandy, so it was also pretty crowded as there aren't that many sandy beaches there.
I'm not 100% sure what this is, but it is a house/building in the old capital city of Cintenje, Montenegro. I took a quick picture as the bus drove by, but you can see bullet holes or mortar fragments have hit just above and to the side of the door. I assume it was from the Kosovo War in 1999.
On the way back to Munich I stopped at the Plitvice Lakes National Park in northern Croatia.
(One of my favorite pictures of the whole trip)
