SARAJEVO - BOSNIA
now this is wat made the radovan capture so interesting. goin from upset betrayed nationalist serbians to celebrating muslim bosnian. weird.
sarajevo have reconstructed itself pretty well. had a good look around sarajevo. the old town isnt too big but enough to keep u occupied as time flew by. sarajevo is the home to bosnian muslims, croatians and even serbians so it has an interesting mix but the muslims aspect definately stands out.
had a great bunch of backpackers at my hostel where we enjoyed a few bevies. in the shops pivo comes in cans, 1litre bottles 1.5litre bottles and wait for it ......2litre bottles! quantity not quality must be the key.
went for walk up some massive hill that looked over sarajevo and its mountains. nice view but i was exhausted. definately noticed not playing footy this year as my fitness is shite.
on my way to croatia i stopped over in mostar for an hour. its a city south/west of sarajevo and unlike the capitol is stil destroyed by war. blown up buildings, bullet holes everywhere.
like serbia and probly all countries in the baltic ex-yugaslavian region, its interesting to hear the locals stories. there is always two sides to everything.
