        My wife and I took a cruise for our honeymoon that stopped in Kotor, Montenegro. For fun, we rented a car and drove up to Split in Croatia along the sea. That means we got to drive through that strip of Bosnia. We stopped and had lunch at a little pizza place in Neum, Bosnia.

        The people in the pizza place asked us how in the world we came to be there. 😆

          How long ago was this? A road trip along this route I think is pretty common and Dubrovnik is a very popular tourist destination these days, especially since they joined the Schengen area.

            I know this is due to context, but “is KOTOR interesting” is a very entertaining question.

            (I hope this isn’t offensive. It’s not meant to be.)

        Yeah, they actually built a goddamn huge Pelješac bridge last year to circumvent this part, so if you’re travelling along the croatian coast down to Dubrovnik you don’t need to cross the Neum border any longer. They actually spent like half a billion euros on that project just out of spite. That’s the balkan thing.
