    Great video, John and Bev! And that closing song! What a perfect find to match your experience with Gordon. Thanks for re-introducing the idea of hiring a driver (in certain, not all, parts of the world). Our thinking has been lately, Rent and drive a car ourselves and/or take public transportation. Now we a third option back in our radar. Thanks for so many good ideas and inspiration.

    Oh, I see that you visited my birth town Bijeljina and Stanisic complex !
    Nice touch from Gordan. ( I guess that would be his correct spelled name ).
    Strange that you haven't visited St Sava temple, people pay airway ticket just to see that. It's pretty unique artistic, and for many, religious experience.
    And, being during summer, you missed Ada beach, 5 miles of gravel and clear fresh water, packed around with top notch restaurants and cafes.
    But, OK, you are still young to come again .
