Entry 16 of 22 | show all | print this entry

Arrived at Ostrog on a bus which somehow managed not to slip off the edges of the cliff leading up to the Lower Monastery.  Seriously, it was about 100 times scarier than the trip into Bosnia...and at times Im pretty sure that 1 wheel was actually off the edge.
Settled into our dorm accommodation, only to find the door doesnt lock.  Great.  I figured that theres probably less chance of being robbed in a dorm in a Monastery than a normal everyday dorm in a hostel, so I just leave the room unlocked for my pilgrimage up the mountain to the Upper Monastery, which is a stark white church which appears to be built into the edge of a cliff.
It was a 1hr steep climb to the top, but was relatively easy as we stopped often to look at the view and take photos.  Some pilgrims climb up in bare feet and on their knees, whilst some take the mini bus which runs every so often.
It was worth the walk, as we got to the top there were bells ringing, and we went into the church to see the holy relics..it was amazing.
