Picture day ... Hooray!!!

Do to the cold in Bosnia, hostels have been the safest bet for us to keep warm. We were really psyched about camping but not here. Hopefully in Turkey.

The last two hostels we stayed at have been really nice and cosy. We stayed two nights in Sarajevo, and three nights in Mostar. The best thing about hostels, is the free Internet use. So I can get more pictures up.

Tomorrow (the 22nd) we are going to head down to Montenegro and try to catch a train to Istanbul. Sounds like fun huh? Last weeks pictures that needed to go up

The New Family. It was funny, we ran into Bret again in Sarajevo. And in Mostar, a girl there knew him from Serbia. The eastern Europian backpacking comunity is quite small.

Really cool wheat past graff



SARAJEVO



This is the last existing part of the Bosnian tunnel that saved so many life's


Old men playing real big chess in Sarajevo


A little girl, singing for money in the cold rain. Unfortunatly this is one of the worst forms of child labour. If you give into it, you encourage it. If you don't give thees children may have to continue begging until late at night to ensure a meal or to avoid a beating. What a dilemma. We were told to give them food.


Rooftops the day we left Sarajevo



MOSTAR


Mostar river

The famous Old Bridge in Mostar


We walked around a 14th century castle


And climbed this tower

No regrets


War ruins in Mostar


A war ruin being rebuilt.

The bank. This is right on the front line of the conflict. Snipers took over the bank and kill lots of peopel. One of the tallest buildings in the city


This is inside near the roof inside the bank.


This is the view from the roof of the bank


Really sick graffiti inside the loby of the bank


The floors of the bank are trashed. They are covered with broken glass, bank papers, trash, and bulet shells.

  1. Being from the US it's hard to imagine war in your own backyard, isn't it?
