Hey there!
Hey guys! I have been following your trip for a while now. You've been to some places that I have done a little while ago and your great photos bring back good memories.. The Western Bulkans is a great area and I would love to go back some day to do more. I hope you get to Sarajevo, that is one of my favourite cities in Europe. Anyway hope you enjoy the rest of the trip. Lovin the blogs!
