We could see the limits of google translate on the next morning when we showed off for breakfast at 8.30 and we met our host, panicked, saying she’d understood 9.30. Anyway, we walked then up to the “Hercegovacka Gracanica”, an orthodox church, from were you could see all over Trebinje and a bit further. Our host then offered to drive us up to the “autobuska stanica”, what we accepted with pleasure, measuring the hugeness and weight of our bags. The same taxi driver wanted to deal with us, without any success. The bus finally arrived, an hour later than scheduled (which is more than normal there). That is when we met Morgan, also carrying his house on his back. We told him after a while we wanted to visit Kravice waterfalls and planned to go together the next day, eventually renting a car. Once arrived in Mostar, we reached our accommodation quite easily the “Hostel Lena”. Our host offered us a tea and a city map. She was extremely nice and we felt like at home.



We went discovering the little town, the famous bridge, of course, which was rebuilt in 1977 and destroyed again in 93 during the Balkan war. The place is part of the UNESCO World heritage since 2005. The most impressive in this town when you never had to experience bombings and war, are all bullet impacts that you could see on every building.

We finally met Morgan by chance in the town again and went together to rent the car for 40 Euros / day
