Hotel Bosna Banja Luka

... wandered around the old town and stopped at Bosna for some Burek which some people in Mostar had recommended and also Arijan from the hostel.<br>Awesome burek!! Probably best burek I've had since Zagreb - and I've been eating Burek every day since Zagreb.<br><br>Went back to the brewery for more beers with Mark and Ben in the afternoon whilst we waited for Cassie, Nonie, Adrian and Graham to all meet up there.<br>Went to Zjelo for dinner as ...

... helpful with info and suggestions on things to do and places with good food and beer. <br>Wandered around Zagreb and had an AMAZING meat Burek from a bakery just down the road from the hostel. Best pastry or anything from a bakery I've had since leaving Australia and better than most meat pies or sausage rolls. I had 1of these every day I was in Zagreb.<br><br>Met Nonie back at the hostel as she was ...

... different, though, even though we were only a ten-minute drive away! The trees that were everywhere were all changing colors, so many of them were a brilliant red, yellow, purple, and orange. Mixed with the turquoise and green of the lakes, we really felt like we were in paradise. It wasn&#8217;t too crowded either; I would hate to picture it in summer, though!

... through with no problems. We drove into Zagreb and again had no problems parking outside the city and walking in. Since it was Sunday most of the museums and shops were shut, and the city had a sort of surreal feel to it as it was pretty dead. It was a nice city, though, and we saw a few churches and walked through the touristy streets where there were quite a few people-a mix of ...

During the past 10 days we traveled through Bosnia and Herzegovina. We crossed the borders between different parts of the country (Serbian Republic and Federation of Bosnia). Especially around this borders there where zones which show signs of the time of war: bullet holes, mines, abandoned houses. In the Serbian Republic I experienced quite some nationalistic attitudes ...

Sunnuntai meni siirtymisissa. Laksin Sarajevosta kymmenen aikoihin ja alunperin tarkoitus oli yojunaa Belgradiin Dobojissa. Paadyin kuitenkin Banja Lukaan, koska juna lahtee sielta ja keskiyota on mukavampi odotella junassa kuin asemalla. Olin suunnitellut kayttavani paivan kiertelemalla kaupunkia, mutta asemaltahana ei tietenkaan loytynyt sailytyslokeroita, joten suunnitelma olisi vaatinut rinkan raahaamista mukana. Jonkin verran tuli kuitenkin lahinna ruuan perassa taivallettua. Bosnia on ...

We told a lot of Sarajevo residents our next stop was going to be Banja Luka. A lot of icy stares back. You don't want to go there. Now we understand. Tell a co-worker you are going to spend the next part of your holiday at the Silverwater Sydney Water Effluent Treatment Facility and you will get a similar reaction. Its not ...

Let me write a bit about the city to which I was lured by the promise of fame and publicity. Banja Luka is an ancient city that is the administrative capital of the Republika Srpska.* Bosnia and Herzegovina is the internationally recognized conglomeration of the Republika Srbska (RS) and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The two parts of BiH are run separately and the main similarities are the currency of the Konvertable Mark (1 KM = .75 CDN), the ...

"It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it." - Blues Brothers As I write, we are sat outside a cafe in Banja Luka, a town in North Bosnia. In the background the Italy Australia game is five minutes in. We just got off a five hour train from Sarejevo, and we have another five hours to kill before our next train - we're hoping the football goes to penalties ...
