Hi again to part seven of my trip. Today we went to Dubrovnik, unfortunately there isn't any railway line going there so we had to travel by coach.
There has been a narrow gauge line from Beograd to Dubrovnik via Sarajevo, but it was closed in the 1960s.

Sarajevo:

The night train from Zagreb is arriving in Sarajevo:

The following shots were made on the line from Sarajevo to Ploce:

Our train after the arrival in Plcoe:

This is a loco of the former nattow gauge line to Dubovnik:

Dubrovnik is a very nice city, but crowded with tourists:

There is a ropeway on a mountain, but it has been destroyed during the war in the early 90s:

After we took a short bath we went back to the city to get something for dinner:

On the next day we went to Sutomore - again by coach. Unfortunately my stomach wasn't very happy about that - I think those five hours have been the worst in my life :cry:

Those people are all waiting for one of fove sleeper trains to Serbia:

The second one ist arriving in Sutomore:

That's a stopper service to Podgorica (the capital of Montenegro):

In the end, a photo of the third sleeper of the day:

Part eight will come soon, maybe tomorrow!

Unfortunately I won't be able to post part 8 and 9 during the next time as I will be on several holidays and trips (including the "Desperate Tour") for the next two weeks and I didn't find the time to edit the last few photos before.

CU again in about two weeks!
