Sarajevo (July 31 - Aug 2)

---

Sarajevo is a city that I've been wanting to see. It wasn't a disappointment...my favourite city so far. It's a diverse city with eastern and western influences and makes me wish I had time to go further east. And the people are very friendly... the bus and tram drivers went out of their way to help me.

Most of what I checked out was related to the recent war with Serbia, which was still very evident with bullet holes in the walls, damaged buildings, and Sarajevo roses (red pavement where a shell exploded). The war tunnel museum was probably the most interesting thing I saw. I also checked out the Velo Bosna (Bosna Springs), where the Bosna River begins...these springs are very neat to see and they're also important to the people of Bosnia.

Anyway, after Sarajevo, I took a night train to Budapest where I spent one night before flying to London. In London, I met up with my dad and my sister Shanti and we flew to Sierra Leone.

I fail to see the point

Sarajevo Holiday Inn
Famous because it's where the foreign journalists stayed during the war.

Sarajevo war tunnel museum
This tunnel went under the airport so that people could enter and leave the city during the war.

This sign refers to explosive devices, not ownership
It's located right beside a popular walking path and park.
