Bosnia and Herzegovina
Words are a weak way to share the experience of visiting Sarajevo. One must come to truly experience and understand, if even to understand even the basics of a very complex and disturbing political failure.
Through it all those that suffered most have rebuilt with spirit and hope inspite of the leader's efforts to crush both.

We spent the morning touring the old part of Sarajevo. Old is not actually an appropriate description as many old buildings were destroyed or significantly damaged during the Bosnian war that sought the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Bosnian Croats and Bosniacs from 1991 to late 1995.
Many of the buildings damaged have been repaired but we saw many remaining with bullet pockmarks and crumbledRead more

Long day, bus to Mostar and Sarajevo. Three border crossings - leaving Croatia, entering Bosnia and Herzegovina, leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina and reentering Croatia 12 miles later and then reentering Bosnia and Herzegovina. So many tourust buses meant long waits.
Now safely tucked in for the night in Sarajevo's Hotel President.
Bosnia and HerzegovinaNach der langen Nacht gestern haben wir heute etwas länger geschlafen und sind erst gegen elf nach einem opulenten Frühstück zur Bob Bahn aus den Olympischen Spielen von 1984 gegangen. Eine unspektakulärer Ort der irgendwie doch sehr interessant ist.
Bosnia and HerzegovinaNach der Ankunft erstmal durch die City streunern. Old Town ist zauberhaft, Mischen neben Kirchen, kleine Cafés und und über Grill Restaurants. Nach einem leckeren Mahl ging es abends auf die Piste. Wir haben uns unter anderem für das Underground entschieden wo eine ZZ Top Cover Band gespielt hat. Lustigerweise hat sich rausgestellt das die Jungs nicht nur in unserem Hostel wohnen sondern inRead more
Bosnia and HerzegovinaAm dritten Tag haben wir es etwas gemütlicher angehen lassen. Nach einem guten Frühstück haben wir uns der Free City angeschlossen wo man einiges über die zauberhafte Stadt Sarajevo lernen konnte. Nach der Tour ein Teechen im Hostel und dann ging es auch schon der Sonne entgegen zum Shopping. Der Mitgebrachte Hunger wurde wieder in einen der vielen sehr guten Restaurants getilgt wonach wirRead more

Bosnia and HerzegovinaBeautifull stories about a community with mixed cultures and religions living not just side by side but as close friends. After the assasination of Franz Ferdinand different oppinions about the muderer got along. During WWII Muslims saved the lives of Jewes. After the siege in the 90's no hade between Bosnians and Serbs is to find. This city seems so peacefull. No wonder it is called the EuropeanRead more
Bosnia and HerzegovinaLong and yet great day covering the entire emotion scale. We started out at the childhood war museum reading about, well, childhood in Bosnia in the 90's. Beautifull and scary stories about making the way through life despite the war. The afternoon was all about Turkish coffee, relaxing in the park and finding our way to the train leaving this amazing city. We kinda wanted to stay one more day,Read more

Went to the post office this morning and it was issue after issue 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
We first had to open our package - fine, fair enough.
Then we weren't allowed to send the rakia because they can't send liquids...
Then we needed to have a Bosnian address????
Bloody hell.
This is all happening with a lady who didn't speak a lick of English and had to keep getting sRead more
