Will, Ben and Nevil

As mentioned in our last post we were preparing ourselves for our second night with just the two of us, however we picked up a friendly didgeridoo playing australian in split for our journey into bosnia so disaster has been averted! We are now in Mostar, which is famous for it’s bridge connecting the muslim and christian communities in the city for the past 500 years. It was destroyed in the war 15 years ago and has recently been rebuilt.

Bosnia looks to be interesting, much more of a muslim influence than anywhere else we’ve been yet. Mostar itself was seriously damaged in the war and there are still bullet holes and mortar shell damage everywhere. The main street was the front line for a while and the ruined buildings are still there.

Entering Bosnia was interesting as they required a document we didn’t have. Fortunately a bribe of a cheap bottle of macedonian red wine did the trick and we were allowed in! Pleading ignorance to the police officer who caught will speeding (ridiculous speed limits over here) also worked a treat!
