... are still issues which have to be resolved. We got there during Ramadan and the bar owner said he was chided by a Muslim who wasn&#8217;t happy that he sold food and alcohol during the day, but as he pointed out its not just Muslims living there. <br><br> We really were sad to have to leave, made all the sadder by not being able to stop in Mostar on the way home as the bus timetable didn&#8217;t work out. So we left with some great memories, and determined to return. <br> <br>

... so they dug a 1km tunnel under it to get supplies and Bosnian military help in.<br><br>The museum was great. It seems funny to say it but the video footage and pictures of what happened in the 90's were made even more intense when I thought that I'm right here in the place where it all went down.<br><br>When I was in Sarajevo I then met a new travel buddy. She was Nina from Poland, she had a car and was doing a road trip through Bosnia, stopping off at some significant Bosnian war ...

... the ground from sniper shots aimed at civilians walking the road. At the worst time, snipers on hills were instructed to pick off civilians on the street just to drive everyone crazy. City planned cemeteries are common, but what is thought provoking are the tombstones in the middle of public parks, and lining the streets, all from the war. The talismanic yellow Holiday Inn, the only functional hotel during the Sarajevo Seige, where all world's news correspondents stayed, still ...

... would be carrying up to 40kg of food on there back and have to run with it whilst being shot at by snippers. He also showed me some video footage on youtube of some of the scenes that took place, it was pretty intense but it was amaying how everyone pulled together and helped each other. Anyway after having the intersting chat I strolled around the old city again and got into the main shopping street leading to the snippers alley and alley where people would get shot trying to ...

... next morning, a few others were up, whether to catch a train to Mostar, or like myself a bus to Dubrovnik. From the snowfall the last night and the partial melting, I trodded through inches of snow, that when stepped in, turned into huge puddles. My shoes didnt stay dry for 10 steps. Reminded me of treeplanting all over again. After you stop fighting it, you just learn to keep going, step by step. The only problem was that when a bus shot by, it would ...

I thought hýs story was pretty fascýnatýng but ýt was funny to see hýs reactýon when we told hým that we were both on 1 year trýps around the world.

... hostellille tulon jalkeen siina neljan aikaan en taalta ole oikeastaan poistunut kuin laheiseen supermarkettiin ostamaan evasta huomiselle junareissulle seka tiettyja nestemaisia nautintoaineita. Illalla on keskitytty bisseen ja urheiluun. Ensin futista ja sitten hulinaa kasipallokentalla. Tekisi melkein mieli lahtea katsomaan minkalainen meininki kaupungilla on lauantai-iltana, mutta ei taalla ole oikein ketaan seuraksi. No seuraava kohde on Belgrad, jonka pitaisi olla Balkanin bailukeskus.

... and mostly have very good English. So the answer is normally just a question away. And so it proved for Vrelo Bosna. Jess approached a woman running a newspaper stall who was engaged in an animated conversation with a friend. Pointing to the book and using sign language, Jess conveyed the message that we were after some directions. Hoping that she would point to the correct way, she responded in near perfect English 'take this path, go straight on ...

... books and a couple of really good tour guides, appears to be this (subject to amendment as we figure out more). As Yugoslavia breaks apart after the Soviet Union itself fell apart, countries in the former Yugolslavia made a bid for a bit of extra territory. Its not like they knew what to do with their existing territory, but a good war would be easier than building public institutuions or a functioning economy. Croatia established itself in its historical ...

... as refugees during the war. Even now, ten years later, there are still many Bosnians living over seas. The owners of the hostel we stayed at, a mother, brother, and sister, only returned 10 months before from the Scandinavian countries where they had been scattered as refugees. We settled ourselves in to our hostel, the former summer home of the family, and had big plans to go out exploring the town but ended up meeting some very interesting people ...
