About one year ago my mom heard about Bosnian pyramids which have healing energy tunnels. Then I read on the internet about that pyramids and I found out that they are really interesting and that might be worth to go to Bosnia and see them. And so we went… After a long night drive with not very comfortable bus we finely came to Visoko, 30 km away from the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina - Sarajevo. First we went with our local guide to the hill from where you can see 213 m high hill named Visočica. Amateur archeologist dr. Semir Osmanagić discovered it in year 2005 and named it the Pyramid of the Sun, because of its proper geometry. It was build about 12.000 years ago. In the neighborhood they also found similar pyramids ... read more

Rano sa prebudzam do dazda. Podla predpovede by sa mal okolo 10/00 premenit na slabsi dazd. Tak ok, teda idem na turu na hrad Srebrenik. CS mi este odporucal navstivit mesto Gracanica, tam je tiez neaky zaujimavy hrad s bohatou historiou. V blizkej pekarni pri ubytku na hlavnej ceste kupujem ranajky. Makovy zavin a cokoladovy croasant. V dazdi sa dostavam cez rieku popri supermarketu Bingo na zastavku pri autobusovej stanici. Velka smola, bus c.24 mi ufujazdil cca pred 5.min. Dalsi ide okolo 9/25, takze mam cas neakych 40.min. Ako tak sledujem busy a cestovny poriadok moc mi to nepasuje, niektore nejdu vobec, ine dost meskaju a dalsie idu a ani nemaju ist. Cumim do mobilu, pristavi sa marsutka smer srebrenik, no kym sa spamatam uz je fuc. Cakaju tu aj dalsi traja ludia, uz riadne nervozny. ... read more

Mostar is full of winding cobblestone alleys with Turkish-style bazaars and small coffee houses where people sit drinking from tiny cups. Minarets compete for space with church spires, and, at certain times of the day, the Muslim call to prayer battles with the ringing of bells across the river. But the centrepiece of Mostar's old town is definitely its famous bridge. The Legend According to legend, an Ottoman called Mimar designed the bridge. When Suleiman the Magnificent had commissioned him to build it, Mimar had trembled with fear. He knew the bridge had to span thirty metres, something unimaginable in those days. But that wasn't the source of his angst; it was more to do with the sultan. As well as being magnificent, Suleiman was cruel, notorious for his love of gruesome executions. Mimar knew he ... read more

It was a really short stay in Montenegro and as we were leaving the apartment I thought that probably we should've stayed at least one more night to give Perast another go. The weather also was absolutely beautiful which only made me regret leaving Kotor even more... but what was done, was done... We had accommodation booked in Mostar already and the transport as well, so it was time to leave Montenegro and go to another country I have never been to before - Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our driver came to pick us up from the main entrance to the Old Town. He was right on time! Quick adjustment of Millie's car seat (yep! full service!) and we were off! The guy actually looked really friendly and was speaking surprisingly good English... It turned out that ... read more

Day 232 Tuesday 6th September 2016 – Belgrade to Sarajevo The hotel we are staying has been great although a bit more expensive than we usually pay but it has been worth it. Our room is lovely with a balcony and a fantastic breakfast, so we made sure we booked the bus a little later. As we booked out the hotel staff gave us two small packages with homemade biscuits from their kitchen with a thankyou note. The two ladies behind the reception were excited we were going to Sarajevo and gave us some tips on food and said it was a great city. The bus terminal was a short walk and we knew where to stand, a nice big bus pulled in to the platform next to ours giving us hope it would ... read more
