Yes, I know that it is annoying having half finished blogs, but Internet (and computer access) has been tight!
Bob and I are having a wonderful time in Dubrovnik, and I even went for a swim yesterday in the incredibly clean waters of the Adriatic yesterday. A lot of exploring today, and all is well. Tomorrow we have hired a car belonging to a friend of a friend of the landlord of the apartment we are staying in Dubrovnik to drive to Mostar in Bosnia or is it Herzegovina?) .
We then catch an overnight ferry on Thursday morning from Dubrovnik to Reiaja in far northern Croatia, arriving 22 hours later on Friday morning. Our plan then is to get (somehow) to to Ljubljana in Slovenia, probably overnighting there, before making our way to Vienna by train.
We are looking forward to the different culture of Mostar and seeing some of the war damage. Reminders are all over Croatia of the 'Serbian and Montenegran aggression' and the bomb damage of the old town is absolutely criminal.
Wish us luck!

Your post brings back memories, Carolyne! Also swam in the blue Adriatic at Dubrovnik....what a wondrous place!
I was also in Mostar & walked across the original old bridge before the bombing destroyed just about everything. Restoration just doesn't seem the same, but it's better than nothing, I suppose.
