The land of fruit and honey

We bought the most amazingly tasty mandarins here.

Fruit stands were lined up all along the road.

Most of the coastal landscape we’d been driving through was dry and rocky with olive groves and vineyards, so it was a surpirse to come along the River Neretva valley along the road from Dubrovnik to Split which was filled with green and fertile fields. Roadside stands sold the local bounty, including mandarins, garlic, grapes, figs and pomegranates, honey and olive oils. It was so beautiful we had to stop. And perhaps not surprisingly, we came home with a big a mandarins. They were so mouth-wateringly good that I ate three in the car.

And we also bought some of the mandarin honey.
