Hotel Old Town Mostar

... the inside of my top lip and gave me a bloddy mouth. <br><br>After jumping off the cliff we headed back to the van and to dinner. We stopped at this authentic Bosnian hole in the wall where I had a Cevapi which is kinda like a pita with a whole bunch of sausages and sauce inside of it..it was really good.<br><br>After dinner and hour 11 of the tour, Bata brought us to this amazing Castle. The castle was used by locals as a trading post with explorese coming up the Neretva river ...

... What I see here leaves much more of a lasting impression than spending an afternoon looking at London. <br><br>This is the domain of backpackers and the mainstream tourists would never think of coming here, much less walk down a street that was once the Front Line in the war. It's a shame really because they are missing out on a human interest story like nowhere else. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea though and travel is all about finding what ...

... the two blocks I walked were littered with ruins - bullet-ridden or shells of brick buildings waiting to be rebuilt of torn down. There does appear to be alot of rejeneration going on and the old town is a mix of old and new - without being tasteless.<br> <br>I have to admit that I didn't get the same vibe/feeling here as I did in Sarajevo perhaps due to it's size and influx of 'passing tourist's the locals are getting a ...

... Cyrillic alphabet is used here and it made navigating really interesting. <br><br>Driving into Dubrovnik the sun was low on the horizon and we watched as the picturesque city came closer and closer. The red tiled houses surround the little bay full of sailboats and climb up the mountain languorously. We had a hard time finding the hostel; turns out it&#8217;s on a street that was recently renamed, so it&#8217;s not ...

... say, we are hanging raound drinking. He points to our beers, counts three, and then, next thing you know...we have new beers. Dino bought us BEERS! What a hostel host. Needless to say, I put a good review on hostelworld.<br><br>After the night was ready to wrap up. We left that cave bar and what happens when we get back? Dinos mom is waiting at the steps of hostel, all ****** and tells us to be quite. No problem. Who strolls in after? Dino. His mom wasnt happy at ...

... crossing the famous old bridge several times, visited the mosques, the churches and the old houses. At the end of all that I had a very enjoyable dinner and conversation with a young Canadian couple, both of them are from Sarajevo, left the city during the war.<br><br>On the next day, I wanted to take bus to a small town called Blagaj but for some reason the bus did not stop for me. However, this turned out to be a luck in disguise because the hostel owner's ...

... I was in no hurry so I read all the signs with information about cultural things to see. And you got it, off to the left again I went to see something!! I ended up in the town of Blagaj where I hiked to see a river come out of the rock. It was a nice walk along the river and quite impressive to see this good size river come from the stone. at the info center, that was mention of a castle. Where is it and how far? It's right up ...

... used when i canceled it, and b) i kept a spare bank card in my backpack back at the hostel. So im not screwed, just a bit annoyed at myself. Oh well, its all part of travelling right? Not going to let it ruin my holiday. In conclusion, Bosnia is an amazing and friendly, and a part of the world I never would have thought Id be visiting. Im glad I did, and on another trip would love to return and visit the capital too.

... fee, camped two nights in the steep surrounding forest, and swam occasionally - which was also prohibited. Swimming in the turquoise lakes was great, as they were very clear, and black fish liked to linger near the branches and roots of big trees that had fallen in the water and then turned white. I swam, because I figured you should: "Get what you need where you're at." - J.Breen philosophy ... and I needed to swim. The Plitvice Lakes attractively connected via ...

... me. We ended the day by climbing up the old mosque in the city center, close to the bridge. I think it was called Cejvan Cehaj. They charge 2,50KM (1.25 euro) and then let you climb up the minaret, which gives you a very nice view of the city. I had to get back to Majdas to check out and head to Sarajevo to catch a very early bus to Sebrenica next day, 29 april 2008. Mostar still needs to have a more thorough look at a later travel.. it will happen....
