It is important to understand that this itinerary evolved from a desire to visit the Dalmatian Coast, Berlin and Paris. Almost all of the details were not planned and except for where we stayed in Nimes and Paris those that were preplanned changed like the weather. Incidentally, we followed the sunny skies with success for 28 out of the 30 days. One serendipitous experience was taking the bus along the Adriatic Coast, it was one of our favorites:
An 8+ hour bus ride from Split to Rijeka? Yes the road along the Adriatic Coast was hard to beat. My only regret is that I wasn't on a bicycle. Btw, one of the people we met intends to take this very trip next month. It was very inexpensive, public transportation and the pace relaxing. It could easily be broken into parts as there are many inviting places along the coast to spend and hour or an overnight.
