CAMELOT FANTASIES

Then it was time to say bye bye to Croatia for a few days. I was nervous about my first trip to Bosnia, the country where East meets West, a country which is - according to my Croatian friends - still traumatized from the horrible war in the 1990's and a country of contrast and contradiction.

Anyway, upon arriving in Mostar I quickly realized how warm and welcoming the people were. You could see that it is a poor country compared to its neighbor Croatia but with a rich culture and lots to offer to tourists who are interested in history and beautiful landscapes.

The famous bridge


"Don't Forget" - You can see these stones everywhere in the city... And it is impossible to forget about the horrible war which killed so many people in Mostar and the rest of Bosnia. The war damage is still present in many parts of the city.


Ruins of a bank. I didn't go inside but apparently you can still see documents dated from the day when the Serbs and Croats took it over and turned it into a sniper tower that they used to pick off the Bosniaks.


What else is there to see? Hummm, many beautiful mosques:


Ottoman bazaar with beautiful cobblestone streets (slippery when wet)
