Podgora- Part 3

On Monday evening I had dinner out with Bepica, my grandfather's cousin. I then had a very pleasant chat with Bepica and his wife Ilonka on their balcony overlooking Podgora. On Tuesday morning I had morning tea with Lili, Lada and their friend Carmela. Niksa cooked a nice lunch and Mate, Nikolina, Marion and their families came for lunch. It was a relaxed afternoon. After lunch we spent some time in Vlado's courtyard (I am obliged to mention that Vlado feed us some very nice prsut) and then I went with a walk around the old village with Niksa and Marion, Niksa acting as tour guide. In the evening I watched "Naked Gun 3" with Niksa and Ana and Ana kindly did yet more of my washing. This morning I visited the cemetary and had a nice lunch with Vlado and Tatjana and the ubiquitous Huso. I had a very nice time in Podgora.
In the afternoon I drove to Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik and the surrounding region are completely separated from the rest of Croatia by Bosnia and Hercegovina, which extends all the way to the sea at the town of Neum. So a drive to Dubrovnik requires a drive through Bosnia and Hercegovina, which does not take long, as the coast is only about 10km long. The nuisance factor is that it is impossible to buy car insurance for Bosnia and Hercegovina in the UK, which means that the drive, while short, is completely uninsured. Of course nothing happened, but I could not help feeling a little nervous. I arrived in Dubrovnik at 6.30 and found accommodation without any problems. The weather continues to be sunny, with temperatures in the low 30s.
