Zagreb to Medugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina – Most of the ride was on the Croatian freeway crossing the border into Bosnia and turning off to Medugorje for the last 10km or so. Croatia is mountainous so it was never boring. At the border Croatian immigration stamped my passport, this is important as I was exiting the Schengen area. Next Bosnia and the Immigration guy scanned my passport and waved me on, no stamp did not even ask to look at my Bike documents.
Medugorje is a famous pilgrimage site, where in 1981 six children saw apparitions of Mary the mother of Jesus and some believe that they are still occurring. As you would expect it was full of pilgrims of all ages from all over the world.

I remember crossing over into Bosnia-Herzegovina for a short while on the way down to Dubrovnik and back to Zagreb. While there, I bought a lovely enameled saucepan with a traditional folk pattern on it as a souvenir, and still use it to this day.
