Fuel stop completed today in Neum — Bosnia & Herzegovina’s little stretch of Adriatic coastline and honestly one of the most unexpected places of the whole trip so far.
📍 Neum, Bosnia & Herzegovina
🚐 VW T6.1 “Vanilla”
📸 Odometer: 20,676 km
Today’s Balkan diesel maths:
⛽ 55.71 litres
💰 187.19 BAM
💷 About £82.73
💵 Around £1.48 per litre
The fuel station looked wonderfully old-school and came complete with a very direct warning:
“FOREIGN CURRENCY NOT ACCEPTED.”
No messing about here. 😅
Neum itself is fascinating — one minute you’re cruising the Croatian coast, then suddenly you’re in Bosnia beside the Adriatic with different flags, different currency, different atmosphere and dramatic mountains dropping into the sea.
Vanilla is now fully fuelled, the Adriatic sun is shining, and the Nix European Drift rolls on northwards once again. 🛣️🇧🇦🌊Read more
