My round trip to Ghana was made by the cheapest flight ticket issued by Balkan Bulgarian Airline flying from Bangkok through Bulgaria to Ghana. Taking advantage out of it, on the way back from Ghana to Tokyo, I transited in Sofia (Bulgaria) and traveled to Dubrovnik (Croatia), one of the best destination for vacation in Europe, through Belgrade (Yugoslavia) with a backpack by railway. It was eventually the most unforgettable memorable backpack travel.
Tokyo - Bangkok - Sofia - Accra (Flight)
Sofia - Belgrade - Zagreb (Train)
Zagreb - Rijeka (Bus)
Rijeka - Split - Dubrovnik (Ferry)
Enjoyed cafes in the town of Sofia while seeing the transition economy. Took railway, transited through war-torn Belgrade to Zagreb, slept on deck in a ferry sailing in the Adrian Sea, stayed at a cheapest sobe (room) in Dubrovnik for 10 days, and swam everyday in one of the most transparent sea. It was a good excise to refresh myself after the hardest life for one year in West Africa and prepared to go back to the real life in Tokyo...
