Hotel Belvedere Sarajevo

... running through Bosnia-Herzegovina and lots of little towns, it was really sweet but quite wild. We passed many fruit vendors on the roadside and lots of people selling honey – the wooden honey boxes were dotted all over the place as we drove by. Lots of bullet holes in old buildings and yet also lots of new buildings or houses which was good. There is a huge valley where lots of things were going on, lots of new business sprung up from when I had gone through ...

... you take a look at some of the printed marks or labels you can read 'made in China'. It still wouldn't be such a big problem when it was reasonable priced. Forget about it. They vary from 50 to 100 euro for a simple plate or a few cups and cans. And i am sure everyone knows it will probable cost 1 - 5 euro in China.

Sometimes we felt stupid after being ripped off again. "We should have paid more attention." But in Bosnia the sellers and traders seem really ...

Day 8
July 7, Sarajevo

As promised, I embarked the overnight train from Belgrade to Sarajevo after a long walk to the bus station with my 2 remaining angels. Before I left the hostel, I was gifted half a litre of the plum brandy, which I hope I can bring back to India. No promises though.

The bus ride was nothing special, and I can really complain about not getting enough sleep, or the seats, or the border control, but that would take up precious real estate on ...

... neat, but also quite dangerous, as the snow was melting from the day before and ice was forming. I felt bad for the little old ladies. In the grocery store, I felt really bad because I was being extremely cheap with cheese, meat and pasta sauce, but it turns out that I looked like a rich man. The saddest sight was a middle ages mother with two huge cans of beans that came out to probably half a euro together. No body in the entire line up had more than ...

... cinema the most. It has a nice bar, the seats in the theatre were really comfortable and it is not too big. :) I saw the most absurd film of this festival there. Los *******os. It's about two mexicans who are illegal workers in the USA. One day one of them carries a shotgun in his backpack. The movie soon becomes quite bad and it drags on forever. Until this one gruesome scene.... Kevin Spacey was a special guest at this festival. Unfortunately i did not see him. I ...

Pitkasta aikaa jotain tannekin. Viimeinen paiva Mostarissa meni paikkoja kierrellessa ja vihdoin burekiin tutustuessa. Vanhan sillan ymparisto on ihan mielenkiintoinen ja ansaitusti Unescon listoilla. Loytyy museoita, moskeijoita ja muuta mukavaa. Sillan lahelta loytyy luolaan rakennettu baari ja mostarilaiset nuoret hyppivat sillalta parinkymmenen metrin matkan jokeen nyhdettyaan turisteilta tarpeeksi rahaa. Itseasiassa hostellin kautta olisi mahdollista suorittaa sama temppu itsekin, mutta ...

... chosen the best place in town because it was doing a booming business. As we walked we came across an old man that appeared to be a clockmaker. Jess's 'Rolex' had lost its winder (clearly Rolexes are not what they used to be) so we went in and asked if he could fix it. He nodded and then spent the next fifteen minutes trying different winders, grinding the ends, selecting a range of special tools and generally ...

... and lets all relax about the whole no booze thing and screaming at women. A central motivation for both of us coming here was to try to fathom what happened in the wars of the region through the 1990's - a series of events I have never seen well explained. There is no comprehensive resource to resolve this for the visitor even here, but in persevering, little by little, you can piece it together. Our accommodation this week was a result of well ...

... left scars around the city you can still see. We can see them as we walk along looking at buildings with bullet holes. But just looking at the people you could not really tell they have suffered so much. They all seem to be enjoying life and getting along well. They are extremely friendly and helpful people. Everytime we stop with a map in our hands someone comes to ask if we need help. There are not many tourists ...
