After the success of the snorkeling trip I decided to take Ive up on his offer of a day trip to Bosnia along with Shura and Louise from England. We left at about 10:30am and drove a few hours. The road went all along the coast and was very scenic. The first stop was a swimming hole in a river that looked like a real paradise. The water was pretty cold but it was a fun place to swim and they had a rope swing!
After the swim a hopped back in the car and drove to a restaurant the Ive promised would have a great lunch. He was right, it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten, the last thing I expected in Bosnia of all places. As we walked up to the door, we could see the lamb that we were about to eat as it was rotating on the split. It wasn't exactly the most appetizing sight, eyeballs bulging, tongue hanging out and fat dripping off, but when the meal was presented it looked and smelled delicious. In addition to the lamb we had several different kinds of bread, potatoes, and salad.
After stuffing ourselves we hit the road again and headed to the town of Mostar. The city was relatively small but had been hit hard by the war. There were bullet holes everywhere. There has been a lot of rebuilding, but you can still see remnants of war next to brand new houses and buildings.From Mostar we headed home and arrived back at the hostel by late evening. Everyone was pretty tired so we watched a movie in the common area and went to bed.
