Hostel Posillipo Sarajevo

... br> We were on our way to the Turkish quarters and it was a great place to stay. Tiny cobbled streets, arts and craft shops, little cafes, restaurants and beautiful mosques ran alongside a river flowing through the city. One of the bridges over this river was the one where Franz Ferdinand and his wife were killed, signalling the start of World War One. I also visited a huge Islamic cemetery which information told me had also taken in any Muslim travellers that had ...

... in doing so. It really happens right in front of you, while looking you in the eyes. Something you would not really expect. They trick you into thinking the price is right. My advice, watch the f-ck out. Have the hostel owner arrange a taxi or anything else for you. Take notice in trams. (don't give an officer your ticket, but just show it to him. Get out when you see other tourists getting screwed) Try to pay in 'small' money. Only have dinner in restaurants or cafe ...

... entry, and it would shift focus from the wonder that is the city of Sarajevo. After not sleeping most of the night, and finding out that I was not going to have a bed at the hostel for another 6 hours, I decided to go out and see Sarajevo till the evening.<br><br>Many of you will still remember Sarajevo as the city which was constantly on CNN and BBC between 1992 and 1996. It's expected. More of you will remember it as the city that U2 and Pavarotti made a song about. I hope ...

Its offical, I really like Sarajevo. I could definatley live here it is a really nice place. I have been feeling a bit groggy for a few days and was in need of a jog so I went out this morning around 9 before it was to hot to get a sweat on and I felt so much better for it. I am really looking forward to getting back into the gym and working out, I never feel so alive as when I am doing sports I really dont. After my jog I headed down to the office and got chatting with one of the ...

... item. And I had the feeling they werent there to just pick up that one last item, but to make a meal of those one items. When I got back, I immediately made friends with a guy named Pete, who was at least mid 30s and had sold everything in New Zealand and was starting to live life. He had been in serbian and turkey for the last 3 months and was just absorbing it all. Another guy was the Chinese guy, who I would later meet in Dubrovnik. A finally ...

... is just the beginning. According to winter timetable, i.e. from 28 October 2008, this carrier is going to introduce a new direct connection betwee Sarajevo and Stuttgart. The flights will be taken twice a week (on Tuesdays and Saturdays) at afternoon hours. We believe this information will give joy both to all users of the Sarajevo Airport's services and to us since our efforts are aimed at constant satisfying of their wishes and at increasing the level of services to the enviable degree."

... ikansa Sarajevossa, joten takana on modernin sotahistorian pisin, yli tuhat paivaa kestanyt piiritys ja mielenkiintoista tarinaa kaupungin historiasta riittaa. Paiva meni kierrellessa vanhaa kaupunkia. Basèarsija on kaupungin sydan ja taynna erilaisia putiikkeja, iso osa nykyaan turisteille suunnattuja mutta silti ihan mielenkiintoisia paikkoja loytyy. Matkan tahan mennessa parhaan cevapit vedin Zeljossa joka tuntuu olevan paikallistenkin suosiossa. Mukavan aloinen kaupunki, harmi etta saa ...

... us his craftsmanship. The girls watched transfixed as he went about his business. We walked down to the Miljacka River and strolled along the riverfront. We noticed some of the 'Sarajevo Roses'. These are holes in the pavement where shells hit during the war. They have been filled with concrete and are shaped a little like a rose. We saw bullet holes in the buildings we passed and also on the ground where we ...

... risk and good fortune. A lot of bravado went into an estimation that there would be a gaggle of elderly babas with little cardboard signs hawking spare rooms on the train platform on our arrival. But tired from a 4am wake up and 5:30 a.m. island departure we were in for a disappointment on our 9:00 p.m. arrival into Sarajevo. No babas. Leaving the station one middle aged woman whispered an offer of a room, and we tried to be as subtle as possible in our ...

... It is really nice to wander the streets and people watch. Bosnia has a strong Turkish influence from about 200 or 300 years ago so we can enjoy yummy Turkish food and coffee. Lots of people like to sit at cafes and drink coffee here. Coffee is very important part of their day. Tomorrow we will go to a small town in Bosnia called Mostar were there is also lots of interesting history. Here is a place where east ...
