Sarajevo to Dubrovnik

Setting off from Konjic on (another) road with mined verges, on our way to Mostar....









... towards a road that turned out not to exist.

After toiling up a steep landrover track into the middle of nowhere , not entirely sure where we were, we decided to turn back. With no town in sight, and having passed more mine signs , we decided that we did not fancy camping in the middle of the road ... despite the beautiful location.


We asked to camp on these lovely people's farm, in the valley below, and they invited us in for coffee and homemade farm produce. Thanks Mr and Mrs Zdravko!



They also showed us a much better route to Mostar that actually existed (although it did not exist on our map)!!







Another 1000m decent followed, putting a very big smile on Ed's face!!!


















Mostar is an amazing town, almost completely destroyed in the war, the famous Stari Most bridge and a large part of the old town have now been rebuilt, but the scars of war are still everywhere.















A day trip to Medugorje, the third largest Catholic pilgrimage sight in the world, and by far the most affluent town we have visited in Bosnia & Hercegovina...







The Kravice waterfalls.


















Poticitelj at dusk.









The beautiful Polopov Polje valley and some more lovely people who let us camp in their garden and made us coffee.


















Crossing the former Serb-Croat frontline on the way to Croatia.


















Yet more mortar blasts in the road, a common sight in BiH.
