Italia Sarajevo

... in Sarajevo. Therefore, we had a choice to either sit in the hostel and stay dry or walk around in the pouring rain. We chose the latter. Walking around Sarajevo was interesting but not quite as interesting as Mosar. For the most part there was little evidence of the war in Sarajevo that had occured 15 years ago. I guess since its the capital, a lot of the buildings were rebilt much more quickly than they were in Mostar, which meant ...

... from Serbia and Montenegro ends here. Now we all know.<br><br>I did have directions to the hostel and they vaguely indicated that from this bus station there is a trolleybus 300 meters away that would take me right into town no worries. 300 meters. Great. Which way? Left, right, behind the building, in front of the building? Luckily the first person I asked spoke English and she was hauling two giant bags up to the depot. She said, "You are in ...

... at the two guys that were just sitting there chatting outside the closed office and they just stared back at us. We grabbed one of the available maps that told us what tram to catch to get into the town office and together headed there.<br><br>As we rattled along in the old tram, we saw more bullet riddled buildings and finally made it into the old town. The town Tourist Info lady was extremely helpful and friendly and booked us a room for the next two nights. We'd ...

To say that this country is strange and confusing is an understatement. For starters, after a brutal civil war it now has two governments, three presidents, three prime ministers, two official alphabets, one overlord &#8211; a representation of EU, who can change anything in this nation. And, oh, it's a Muslim country but alcoholic beverages, especially beer, are consumed widely and openly (every restaurant and café serves them), and the women dress as ...

... and spirit? We both we interested to see how Sarajevo would leave us feeling. Lonely Planet talked it up so much we thought there was no way it would ever live up to the "bible's" (what lots of travelers call Lonely Planet) expectations. For those that don't know (which we did not until we came here), the city was basically where WW I started and then the war from 1992 - 1995 is still apparent on almost every street you walk down. The history has been rocky to say the least ...

... It was very nice and cool inside and the beers went down a treat. When we got back up to the hostel we met Haris and spent the evening out on the terrace drinking beers and talking to some English guys before the lack of sleep on the bus the night before eventually caught up with us. After another bad experience trying to buy milk for cereal we went out on the tour at 10. first stop the tunnel museum. We entered the tunnel and walked a small section of the tunnel ...

... is a 11 years old kid, who gives me too much love everyday. I come to work and will be kissed and hugged, same happens when we meet at the streets. The boy lost his mother when he was young and is itchi for attention. Everything flows slowly in Pinkland. Just some adventures are making my mind scattered. There are people around all the time and a big fuzz about planning parties, gigs, mountain climbing trips, finding ourselves from Serbia. And when ...

... of Islam. "Also, at our university we have Christian and Catholic professors and students from all religions. Everyone is welcome." It really gave me an new insight. And i was surprised how different it is compared to Holland. To my feeling such a tour and look inside a mosque or Islamic university isn't possible here. There is too many misunderstandings. I can't remember what we have done else. But we have seen a lot. In the end he called some of his other friends ...

... is so diverse that within 400 meters, I can visit a mosque, orthodox church, catholic cathedral, and a synagogue. And I definitely have greater appreciation for people's will to survive. Whether it's the Halilovices or Jasna who comes to the train station every morning or the runners across the airport fields carrying supplies to the city during the war. This will is just amazing. For a great place to stay with true Sarajevan (and beyond ...

... impresionante. Te cuenta y ensena como esta gente vivio y todo lo que tanto la ciudad como ellos sufrieron durante estos 3 anos de asedio serbio. Las huellas de los tiroteos siguen alli. Como pudiero hacer eso? Se escondian en las montanas que rodean la ciudad, esas tan bonitas que veo con tantas casitas y sus chimeneas. Paseamos por el Puente Latino donde Franz Ferdinand fue asesinado en 1914, originando la Primera Guerra ...
