What was the motive of my decision for this 10-day overseas travel? Still
unclear, but actually it was impressive in the result.
On the plane back to Japan, a Chinese proverb came out to my mind. "Prune
and peach trees never say a word but paths are naturally built under them."
(『桃李不言下自成蹊』(桃李ものいはざれども、下おのずから蹊(みち)を成す)
Views, old city towns, a fortress, churches, mosques, people, ..... They
were all the peaceful climate of Central Europe.
On the other hand, I felt depressed here and there. Collapsed buildings,
bullet marks on the house walls, temporary houses on the way of repair,
..... The conflicts of tribes and religions lasted until recent years and
the struggles of supremacy among neighboring countries, those scars closed
in on me by force.
Since the day back home, I spent time enough more to arrange about 1,100
pictures taken during the travel with some out-of-focus. More than 150
shots per day for the actual seven days. The big volume was mostly because
of the convenience of the two digital cameras, but also of the expression
of emotion.
I have been confused to what title to be put for this travelogue. The guidebook
of the travel agency names it as "10 Day-Tour around the Four Countries
of Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina". It is true,
but too long. So, I name this note "10 Days around the Four Countries
in Central Europe", though mostly the same.
I am going to carry the trace table of this travel below, and then will
show a lot of pictures from the next chapter.
After this picturearrangement, the next will be the travelogue work planning
to run in the Zakki-cho Square as the 56th story.

Today in fact, our tour left a footprints at the four countries for one
day. They are Narita (Japan), Frankfurt (Germany), Graz (Austria), and
Blejsko jezero (Slovenia).
Until the hotel near Blejsko jezero, it took 20 hours in total with the waiting time for transfer. For our couple, a whole day and night because we got up at 5:30 at home in Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture this morning.
