After spending time in Croatia and Montenegro, Sharon left to London and the girls left to Vienna, I had a half-day and was going to drive to Mostar in Bosnia – it was about a two hour drive from Dubrovnik. I followed google maps north along the coast (which was beautiful) then turned inland – when I got to the border crossing, no line and very sketchy – the guard chases me down and says only for locals and directs me back to the coast highway and questions “why goto Mostar – no good, stay in Croatia much better”. I then entered Bosnia unexpectedly along the coast with a short line at the crossing – then I go back through another border crossing into Croatia again – kinda like driving through Delaware from MD to NJ, But I was on the right road to Mostar but when I get to the next border crossing, the line was very long and I would not be able to make it across and back before it was very late so I didn’t go through the crossing. So back to Dubrovnik where I met a friend from Korea for dinner who happen to be touring Croatia – I asked why so many Korean tourists in Croatia and he said there was a reality travel show in Korea filmed there and it was very popular, it is called “꽂보다 누나”
I am not a cruise person – but I think the best way to see the Croatian coast would be a cruise from Spilt to Tivat or Kotor.
The girls did great on their own after they went to Vienna and Prague – and very resourceful/lucky as they left cameras and passports behind on various airport transfers and recovered them all.
