The road from Dubrovnik eases out of the city and becomes a ribbon of cypress and olive groves, the Adriatic shrinking behind you while karst ridges rise ahead. In a matter of an hour the bus slips across the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina and you arrive in Trebinje: a small riverside town where stone streets lean toward the river and a viewpoint over the Arslanagica bridge frames blue mountains far inland.
