Congrats for winning the ticket, that is definitely a serious motivation to overcome any doubts!
I am not going myself but since I love planning road trips, even if I don't actually do them, I put the route on google maps and guess what. The suggested route is to pass through Serbia and pick you up :) It could have been a great trip!
That would be at least a 3 day one :D what is it, 9 hours on a ferry?
i actually don't mind driving and most of my trips are by car, but this one feels like it would need more then 1 day for a trip
Yes, the ferry is 9 hours and of course this is neither the quickest nor the cheapest way to travel but I like to plan outrageous trips just for the fun of it :)
