The sun was shining after we woke from a great sleep. Had a skype with mum then caught as bus in to the city. As we were walking in to the city walls we saw a nice looking pizza place with a great smell. Being lunch time we stopped & decided to get just a large between us. Well everyone gasped in our near vicinity as it came out, it was the size of a car tyre. We did our best but could only manage 3/4 so requested a box & were on our way. We explored a li...

We happily ate our sad breakfast this morning. Happy that we were leaving the hotel we paid & headed into town about 10am. Our bus wasn't until 12.30pm so we sat on the banks of the river opposite the bridge for an hour celebrating that the sun has returned. A right of passage for the young men in Mostar is to jump from the bridge. They also have a professional diving club here. Well we watched 2 young locals pretending to dive but then climbing back over the...

Had a kind of frustrating day today. Going to breaky at the hotel made us sad, just really sad. It was bread & crappy coffee & nothing else edible. We needed to get washing done & asked the hotel yesterday to do it as advertised by them. They said they couldn't so I researched, with great difficulty, where a laundromat was & we set out. It was 2.5 km's that we walked to get there only to find it was closed until 12pm. We had 30 mins to kill so wen...

We needed the rest last night & woke up feeling pretty refreshed. After a simple breakfast at the hotel we stepped out into the grey skied day, but at least it wasn't freezing cold. We made our way up the hill to the yellow fortress which gave us sweeping views out over the beauty of the city & countryside. What really caught our attention though was the mass gravestones at a lot of the green areas of the city & all over the hillside. Very sad & m...

We had set the alarm for 9am to make it to our included breaky, but after collapsing into bed we couldn't really be bothered. So we both had big deep sleeps until the alarm went off again at 12pm & reluctantly dragged ourselves out of bed. We are staying in the old town of Sarajevo so wandered in to have a look. Walking amongst the markets we found somewhere for lunch before moving on to explore. We headed along the river & stopped at the beautiful Latin ...
