Bonjour, Hello, Ciao, Dober dan, Dobar dan!
Arrived in Bosnia, we have been driven to Trebinje (a city near croatian
border with only touristic shops and souvenirs). We finally ended up
in Mostar a beautiful town characterized by its famous bridge, destroyed
in 1993 during independance war and rebuilt in 2004 (see the main
picture of this post).
We
had no fixed plans where to stay, and unfortunately we failed to find
an host near by. For the 4th time in 4 months, we paid for the cheapest
room in the town which allowed us to rest a bit and discover Mostar city
center, its market, mosques and catholic churches.
The day after, we were hosted in Konjic by the owner of a rafting club
on Neretva river! Sadly it was not the open season for rafting (start:
1st of april) but we enjoyed the quiet and the view of Neretva river -
one of the most incredible blue-green river we ever saw in our lifes! If
you are interesting about rafting on this river, don't hesitate
Did we mention that we were interviewed by a young journalist who noticed us on the streets of Konjic? He wrote a post about us on the city website portal - check it and train yourself in Bosnian language :)
After a quick return to Mostar because one young couple accepted to host
us, we took the direction of Sarajevo, the capitale of
Bosnia-Herzegovina. This day was a snowy day and Sarajevo was completly
hidden under the fog and a snow coat!
Here
we had the opportunity to be hosted by a german expat who taught us a
lot about Balkan's history and brought us to former Olympic games
bobsleigh tracks (abandonned since 1984), the Sarajevo's beers factory
and fancy bars like Kino Bosna, a former cinema turned into an unusual
place to drink :) We even extended our stay in Sarajevo, in another
host's place.
