| The Balkans |
We're going to the Balkans this spring! Our trip
will begin and end in Bucharest, Romania (after
flying in from Denver), with the goal of seeing
eleven countries over the course of forty days.
We've only been to one of those countries
before -- Croatia -- and only for one day as part
of a Mediterranean cruise. Otherwise, all of this
represents new territory for us. We'll use a
combo of regional flights and buses to get
around (trains are limited). Here's our itinerary:
1) Bucharest, Romania (3 days)
2) Chisinau, Moldova (2 days)
3) Belgrade, Serbia (3 days)
4) Sofia, Bulgaria (4 days)
5) Skopje, North Macedonia (3 days)
6) Prizren, Kosovo (3 days)
7) Shkoder, Albania (3 days)
8) Kotor, Montenegro (3 days)
9) Dubrovnik, Croatia (3 days)
10) Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina (3 days)
11) Ljubljana, Slovenia (3 days)
12) Lake Bled, Slovenia (3 days)
13) Brasov (Transylvania), Romania (4 days)
