travelled to the former Yugoslavia for an abortion of a trip. People traveling were a mixture of stupid, rude or crude. Personal effects of minimal value vanished during brief trips on the bus. The local restaurants were a mixture of poor food or improper hygiene. There was a minimum of friction admittedly because certain alpha males or females...scroungy looking people.....kept cutting the lines. And everyone was too embarrassed to say anything.Do the right thing and check out non cutthroat tours...pay for the service and avoid people who belong more in a police lockup than a tour bus. also, the political situation there was horrendous: we had to go through more stupid checkpoints...some twice....than it was worth.I want you to know that I never give negative workups so this is fervent.
