Rebuilt Mostar Bridge
A Corner in Sarajevo and Leaping into Mostar

<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">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 ... read more

Great bridge and terrible, river stone steps!
Hey, I've got a touch of wifi here in Copa, so happy to read of your adventures and all that history you're learning--good show! I loved Mostar (oh, that hauntingly beautiful, live call to prayer) and was there a bit after the bridge was rebuilt, when there were no hourly jumpers. However, I'm rather shocked that there were so many tourists there in September--I fear for your lives in Dubrovnik! Will it be another Prague?

Glad to hear you are still with us and the God of WiFi is still looking after you. We have been contemplating on where to? after Europe and if it wasn't so difficult and expensive to get home from we would be joining you on that beach at Copa. Just escaped from the tourist stampede at Dubrovnik and we don't think it was as bad as Prague but we just avoided the old town during the middle of the day. As we left this morning there was one HUGE liner and 3 large liners docked in port so it was a good day to be leaving. Happy and safe travels in Bolivia.

Further travels
I'd love it if you'd return to Bolivia to join me here! However, I understand the hassle of distances--so annoying that they've not perfected teleporting yet! Then, you'll see airlines in your transport museums. However, a bit closer to you are Romania, which I've heard is gorgeous, Bulgaria, etc. I was heading there once from Budapest when the Danube flooded, cutting off all eastward travel, but it does seem affordable and exotic. Great that you've perfected early morning exploration to avoid the crowds; liners have become the scourge of travelers. I'm staying a couple of weeks in Copa since I have wifi and my own bathroom with a toilet seat and hot water--woo hoo!
