    The landscape is dry and the mountain plunges steeply into the sea. Abandoned terraces show that the land was once cultivated and groomed. The work was hard, the crop scarce. The cultivators have now either left the country or are working in the tourists industry.

    Border Crossing

    Border crossing at Montenegro
    by karenincalifornia
    We were staying in Herceg-Novi, Montenegro, so to get to Dubrovnik, we drove up the coast and into Croatia. The border crossing is not a big deal, although going into Croatia is much quicker than coming back into Montenegro. There was no wait at all going north into Croatia. Croatian customs merely looked at our passports, stamped them and told us to have a pleasant stay.

    Entering Montenegro (and this happened to us twice) is a bit more time consuming. At both the Bar and Croatia-Montenegro border frontiers, there was a wait – 3 hours in Bar at the ferry terminal, and about 20 minutes between Croatia and Montenegro.

    Montenegro Customs will examine all the documentation you have for your car as well as your “Proof of Insurance”. No, your wallet sized Allstate card will not suffice. Before we got here, I had heard mixed things about whether you needed this so-called insurance or whether you didn’t. Trust me, you do, although I suspect it would not have done me a damn bit of good if our car had gotten smashed up in Montenegro.

    In Bar, we couldn’t get out of customs without purchasing it on the spot, and at the Croatian-Montenegrin border, they asked for the proof again. The price for this piece of paper that has nothing to do with insurance, but everything to do with an entry fee to Montenegro, was $15 Eurodollars.

    On the bright side, some things in life are free. While we were waiting at the Montenegrin border, some young girls were passing out tourist guidebooks for Montenegro, which were about 75 pages in length and quite helpful with nice maps.

    Bus is the way to go

    Public transport in Dubrovnik is an excellent way to get around the environs of the city. With only two hotels actually inside the city walls, and a limited amount of private accommodation as well, most visitors will find themselves staying at varying distances from both the city and the beaches. No cars are permitted wirhin the city walls - and parking's very limited, so the bus is definitely the way to go.

    Bus fares are 12 kuna if you buy your ticket on the bus, or 10 kuna if you buy it from a kiosk or newsstand. There's a main bus stop just outside the Pile Gate, tickets are available from the kiosk there.

    The main bus station is in the port area of Gruz.

    If you are coming from the airport, the airport bus will stop at the Pile Gate before going on to Gruz. Buses are scheduled to link up with flights arriving and leaving the airport and are much the best option. The fare is 35 kuna (about 5 euro) as opposed to 250 kuna for a taxi, though not all flight arrivals coincide with the bus timetable. For the return trip to the airport, you can catch the bus either at the Pile Gate or the Gruz bus station - allow yourself 2 hours.

    Dubrovnik is situated in the most southern part of Croatia, therefore the airplain is the most easiest way to get it. Croatiairlines, the national company, offers a reduced number of cheap tickets on each fly to Dubrovnik which costs around 20,00 Euros. The only problem is, you can buy this tickets exclusevely when in Croatia.
    The fly from Zagreb to Dubrovnik takes approx. 45 minutes and in a clear day one can enjoy in fantastic arial view of the Adriatic coast and the islands. I had bad weather conditions during my fly, very cloudy and heavy rain right above the coastal area.

    In some places, everything is stone and sun burnt vegetation. In other places, a wonderful and refreshing landscape of cypress is growing ! Why ? The soil may be different, but moreover, there must be some moisture in the soil that allows such an amazing vegetation.

    In this landscape, there is nothing but the sea and the mountain. A kind of desert, without any mankind ! It is really a breathtaking sight ! When I gaze at such a landscape, I want to jump and dive into the sea ! Or better, to sail !

    Top of the mountain is the border with Bosnia-Herzegovina. That means that those who can reach the edge …

    This is Europe on both sides of the mountain. That will be soon European Union. Then, that will not matter anymore who is on top of the mountain and who is underneath.

    Bus Station

    The main bus station is located about 3 km outside of the Old Town next to the port in the suburb called Gruz. I stayed in a private home in Gruz my first night in Dubrovnik, but I'd recommend spending a little more and staying in or closer to the Old Town if at all possible. Dubrovnik is well serviced by bus from all over the country and there is a local bus station right across the street from the station. It costs 8kn to buy a one way bus ticket for most locations within the city (10kn if you buy the ticket on board from the driver).

    To give you an idea of some of the long routes, I took the bus between Split and Dubrovnik (89kn, 5 hours) and between Dubrovnik and Mostar, Bosnia Hercegovina (70kn, 3 hours). Zagreb will take you about 11 hours. There are also routes to Sarajevo, Frankfurt and Trieste.

    You can catch a ferry to one of the many islands along the Southern Dalmatian coast at the main port in Gruz or right in front of the Old Town. Check with the tourist agencies in the Old Town for information and schedules, but keep in mind that they are very limited in the non peak tourist seasons.
