Mostar, Sarajevo

Famous bridge in Mostar

So my traveling in 2011 continued in March. It was a school trip to Bosnia. More accurately to Mostar and Sarajevo. The path took us through Croatia to Bosnia, where we firs stopped in Međugorje. That’s a small town in Bosnia where they believe Virgin Mary revealed itself. So many Christian believers make pilgrimages there. After that we visited a city Mostar. It’s famous by its large bridge over the river Neretva, and by the divers that are jumping from that bridge to the water. This place survived allot of wars between nations that lived there in past, so it has many consequences of the war. Crashed buildings are very easy to find there. After Mostar we went to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. We arrived there in late afternoon so we only did a quick bus tour around the city before checking in in the hotel.

Visit to the Bosnian house.

In the morning we went to see the tunnels that were built during the war in nineties. Trough that tunnel they smuggled food and weapons to the city, because it was totally surrounded by Serbian soldiers. After that we went in to the center of the city, where we visited typical Bosnian house, a mosque, and a store with traditional Balkan food called Čevapčiči. We have that food in Slovenia to, but it’s just not as good as it’s there.

That was pretty much everything, because the trip was only two days long with bus drives included, but even if it was short, I again enjoyed traveling on Balkan.
