Or, “another post in which Dan says he’s going to somewhere that sounds dangerous.” (this one really isn’t, though! even the ever-cautious US state department is not warning against it!)

I’ve got a ferry ticket from Ancona, Italy to Split, Croatia. Then I’m headed north to Poland. Google Maps is pretty weak in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so it routes me around through Croatia… but Bosnia is more direct. And interesting; who’s been to Bosnia? Croatia sounds cool too, like Dubrovnik and the Plitvice lakes, but y’know those are crowded. But then, maybe Bosnian roads are sketchy?

But maybe maybe a lot of things! Whatever! This sounds like an adventure! Let’s go through Bosnia!

The plan now:

Tomorrow: get to Ancona, Italy, and take the ferry to Split, Croatia

May 4: hang out in Split

May 5: Split from Split (har har!) to Mostar, Bosnia

May 6: Mostar-Sarajevo

May 7: Sarajevo

May 8: Sarajevo-Banja Luka

May 9: Banja Luka-Pecs, Hungary

May 10: hang out in Pecs

May 11: Pecs-somewhere else in Hungary

May 12: that somewhere to Kosice, Slovakia

May 13: Kosice

May 14: Kosice to somewhere in Poland

May 15: that somewhere to Lublin, where my friend Anu is living.

How about this! Now this is an adventure. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Yes!
