Sarajevo

Sarajevo is a bustling, busy city, a bit grimy like the rest of Bosnia but full of people getting on with business. It is hard to imagine the city being under siege for three whole years but the buildings soon remind you how terrible it must have been.







Bit hard to see the bullet and rocket holes but they are still there in this apartment block and many others. The Serbians had prime position in the closely surrounding hills and the town people basically lived out of shelters for long periods of time.

But despite this recent history they are moving on with life - but apparently racial tensions still remain. Shopping is apparently above all these problems and a thriving market place was just the thing for us on our almost last day.





Then it was a long 7 hours in the bus, punctuated by toilet stops, border crossing and apparent mine clearance works before we made it to Zagreb in the twilight and a lovely soft bed.


See you soon, Singapore tomorrow.

Love Wendy and Graeme
