Day 7: After Dubrovnik, we will find another country on our route: Montenegro. We will go seeing the internal part up to the border with Serbia, another country that was part of former Jugoslavia. This is demonstrating how complex this nation used to be, once governed by the iron fist of Tito Marshal during Communism. Montenegro is a really tiny country but very beautiful. We will get to Podgorica, the capital, where we will spend the night.
