Dubrovnik to Zelenika

After a long and relaxing break on the boat we finally made it back onto the road. The new leg of the trip was christened by a hairy ride through the crowded streets of Dubrovnik and up to the highway which clings to the mountains above the city. The traffic soon died down as we made our way through stifling heat towards the Montenegran border. We crossed the border and appeared to be the only people who did not have our luggage checked. Immediately we noticed the extra chaos and lack of wealth compared to Croatia. Rubbish was everywhere by the sides of the road and drivers communicated often with their horns. At our campsite the facilities were somewhat lacking but we spent the evening chatting with some Serbian guys who in their own words had a 'fettish' about England and everything was quite pleasant.
