Hotel-Restaurant Kriva Cuprija Mostar

... the Virgin Mary a while back and there is a dripping Jesus statue. <br><br>Next was Kravice Waterfall which was so beautiful. Went for a swim there which was freezing!!! Was so cold I had to keep moving or I felt like my arms and legs would sieze up and I'd sink. Got a couple of shots of rajkia from Bata afterwards to warm back up.<br><br>Drove up to an old medieval town that still has a few people living there and explored the ...

... love the bridge, and speak of 'him&#8217; as an old friend.&#8221; &#8211;Rick Steves. The following paragraphs are out of our Rick Steves book about the bridge:<br><br>&#8220;Traditionally considered the point where East meets West, the Old Bridge is as symbolic as it is beautiful. Dramatically arched and flanked by two boxy towers, the bridge is striking- even if you don&#8217;t know its history. <br><br>Before the Old Bridge, the Neretva River was spanned only by a ...

... in Montenegro. In Croatia the coast starts off flat with some hills but the landscape is mostly desert like and not much to look it. The water though is another story. It looks like the Tidy Bowl Man dumped one of those blue tablets right in and let it mellow a while. Do people even use those things anymore? The clear water was even more incredible if the sun hit it at the right angle.<br><br>Three hours later we rolled into Split which is Croatia's ...

... cheese, bread, vodka, coke, to last me 2 days, I'll manage. Even the hostel is mad expensive, 35 euros as opposed to the 10-15 euros a night I've been paying over the years. It'll be a good time here before I leave for some other town in Croatia. Maybe Split, maybe Zadar. Who knows.<br><br>I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been. Hanging on the promises, and the songs of yesterday, I've made up my mind. I ain't wasting no more time. Here I go again.<br><br>

... for religous tourists. The whole place is just filled up with ****** tourist shops selling stautes of Mary and other religous stuff and hotels everywhere. Everyone on the tour didnt want to stop here as there was nothing really to see and everyone just thought it was weird. It just seemed to me that it was now just so commercial and people were making a packet of this story which is true. Apperently people come for all around to spend 7 to 10 days at this place, what they do ...

... It is a bit of a wonder how this mild form of Islam could have inspired so much hatred and war. We stayed at Madja's Rooms which was a true hostel where we stayed in bunk beds and shared bathrooms with our fellow travelers. It had a very homey feel as it was infact her home and had been converted to this friendly warm place for traveler's to lodge, hang out, and swap stories with each other. Mostar turned out to be well worth the trip. The train ride was ...

... that night, I borrowed someones guidebook and it stated to never walk into these destroyed buildings as some of them may still have landmines. That sightseeing activity stopped immediately after I read that. Anyhow, it was an interesting walk. I took quite a few pictures but I was careful not to take any with people watching. I am conscious of the fact that some of these people may have had friends or family die in these buildings and I didnt want to make them ...

... of the most beautiful in Europe, and with the track right on the riverside running through these valleys I can well imagine that they're right. I love the way the cloud seemed to cut every scene in two, descending on us and rising again as we twisted ...
