In early September this year, I flu to Venice, Italy for 3 weeks. At the last moment I talked with few friends and decided to rent a motorcycle and ride with my friend Dusan from Slovenia south, through Croatia  (Adriatic  coast ) to Montenegro, Serbia , Bosnia and Herzegovina and back. Its about 2200km or 1400 miles long trip in five days.  A Kawasaki versus from TC Motoshop.  Motorcycle which I rented was excellent and I was very happy to be on the road with enduro bike. We begin our road trip in Ljubljana, Slovenia and headed towards Rijeka, Croatia.  We made our first stop in Sibenik where I photographed Old Cathedral of St James. Not much to say. Photos say all, place is stunning but photographing inside cathedral was not permitted.

Our Next stop was Split. City Split is very well known by its rich history and by beautiful women, food was good as well, lol. We stayed overnight and drove Dalmatian coast the next day.  Second stop was in Dubrovnik. The Old City Dubrovnik (which I previously photographed.) The city is as well on the UNESCO list and "must see" place for every traveler in the world.

Very same day we crossed the border between Croatia and Montenegro and our next stop was Kotor. (See below). After visiting Kotor we decided to climb mountain Lovcen, the holiest place in Montenegro. The road was very steep and only wide enough for two motorcycles, if car was coming from other side, you will have to ride on the side of the road. After climbing about one hour we reached the summit and visited Njegoš's Mausoleum. Unfortunately the weather suddenly changed  from sunny to a summer thunderstorm and rain. We decided to return. We stopped  at the small lodge for few moments and waited for rain to stop. Few locals saw us riding motorcycles during the storm and offered a complementary smoked ham (prsut) and white grape brandy (rakija).

Next day we drove through Canyon Tara and Canyon Moraca, also UNESCO ‘s National Parks under Durmitor National Park. Beautiful scenery . After crossing border between Montenegro and Serbia we headed to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and  stopped  at another UNICEF’s world heritage site, Visegrad.  So much history and beauty.  Visegrad’s Bridge  is famous from many aspects, as a World Heritage Site and  by Ivo Andrić, novelist and story writer, who won 1961 Nobel Prize for literature for his novel, The Bridge on the Drina. The Bridge was my personal favorite.

Continuing drive to Sarajevo, we made a short brake in Inscribed place on UNESCO’s list in Bosnia’s called Jajce (see bellow). Underground Church, Tower on the Church of St. Luke, 14-15th century, The only original medieval Church tower on the Balkan peninsula, AVNOJ place, ..Jajce waterfalls.

In the evening of the fifth day, we reached Slovenia which is a  member of EU. The road trip was amazing, so much history, excellent roads, nice and very friendly people, local food and good beer . I would recommend Slovenian Laško, , Croatian Karlovačko, Montenegro”s Niksicko and in Bosnia you should try Sarajevsko beer. I liked them all. My buddy Dusan said to me, "two friends, two bikes, adventure of the lifetime" which I could not agree more.

The Cathedral of St James in Šibenik,		The Cathedral of St James in Šibenik (1431-1535), on the Dalmatian coast, bears witness to the considerable exchanges in the field of monumental arts between Northern Italy, Dalmatia and Tuscany in the 15th and 16th centuries. The three architects who succeeded one another in the construction of the Cathedral - Francesco di Giacomo, Georgius Mathei Dalmaticus and Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino - developed a structure built entirely from stone and using unique construction techniques for the vaulting and the dome of the Cathedral. The form and the decorative elements of the Cathedral, such as a remarkable frieze decorated with 71 sculptured faces of men, women, and children, also illustrate the successful fusion of Gothic and Renaissance art.
Historical Complex of Split with the Palace of Diocletian		The ruins of Diocletian's Palace, built between the late 3rd and the early 4th centuries A.D., can be found throughout the city. The cathedral was built in the Middle Ages, reusing materials from the ancient mausoleum. Twelfth- and 13th-century Romanesque churches, medieval fortifications, 15th-century Gothic palaces and other palaces in Renaissance and Baroque style make up the rest of the protected area.
Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor		In the Middle Ages, this natural harbour on the Adriatic coast in Montenegro was an important artistic and commercial centre with its own famous schools of masonry and iconography. A large number of the monuments (including four Romanesque churches and the town walls) were seriously damaged by the 1979 earthquake but the town has been restored, largely with UNESCO’s help.
Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge in Višegrad		The Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge of Višegrad across the Drina River in the east of Bosnia and Herzegovina was built at the end of the 16th century by the court architect Mimar Koca Sinan on the orders of Grand Vizier Mehmed Paša Sokolović. Characteristic of the apogee of Ottoman monumental architecture and civil engineering, the bridge has 11 masonry arches with spans of 11 m to 15 m, and an access ramp at right angles with four arches on the left bank of the river. The 179.5 m long bridge is a representative masterpiece of Sinan, one of the greatest architects and engineers of the classical Ottoman period and a contemporary of the Italian Renaissance, with which his work may be compared. The unique elegance of proportion and monumental nobility of the whole site bear witness to the greatness of this style of architecture.
Durmitor National Park		This breathtaking national park was formed by glaciers and is traversed by rivers and underground streams. Along the Tara river canyon, which has the deepest gorges in Europe, the dense pine forests are interspersed with clear lakes and harbour a wide range of endemic flora.
The natural and architectural ensemble of Jajce		The site has for centuries been a crossroads of the routes leading from the interior of the continent to the Mediterranean. The entire complex with the fortress, town ramparts and towers lies on the southern slope of a large rocky pyramid, enclosed to the south-west by the bed of the river Pliva and to the southeast and east by the river Vrbas.
