Down the coast and over to Bosnia.

Zagreb - thumbs up.

After Salvonski Brod, we went to Zagreb with Evonne. It's got a beautiful historic city centre, and a few stalinist blocks outside. Evonne took a plane back home.

Rolling south down the freeway along the coast, we got to Dubrovnik. A beautiful citadel. We stayed in a private home, a bit of a dive.

Dubrovnik - jewel of the Adriatic.

We did stop at Medjugorje, but didn't climb the mountain, as it was over 40 degrees and the hoardes of tourists made it hard.

Next was Mostar. It's well worth a visit, with it's extensive old town. It must have been really amazing before being levelled during the war. Today, it's been well restored from funds all over the world. A few building shells remain. The amazing clear water of the river is an even more amazing 12 degrees. That takes a little time to get into after 40 outside. We stayed in a private appartment, a bit of a dive.

Mostar. Don't jump, I mean, do!

Sarajevo is such an interesting city. See where Archduke Ferdinand got assasinated, and started WW1 (which arguably led to WW2). See the local Siege Museum, and feel impotent rage as you watch what happened to the people here. Or skip the depression, and just enjoy the variety of churches, alleys and interesting places. It would be easy to spend a good few days here. Marie was sick of dives, so we stayed in a 5 star hotel in the middle of town (same price as a pub in Oz mind you).

Sarajevo. Appartments in the middle of town.

Sarajevo. Pretty houses in the hills.
