Mostar

Hello!
I ended up in Mostar anyway! There is no trains going south here, so a bus took just 4 hours.
Driving on the coast made me fall a bit for Croatia after all. On the way we passed the boat "Karina", the restaurant "Kuk" (For real), and a big wood fire, there were about 10 planes going from the ocean to the wood with water and back again. A bit scary, we drove straight through it, and could see both trees and the ground burning.
Anyway, got to Mostar, and it is really nice here, a lot of buildings are old, a lot of them renovated after the war, and this place kind of represent the history of the country.
Mostar is famous because of its bridge, one of the oldest of its type. The bridge was destroyed during the war, but with Unescos help they rebuilt it.
Yesterday I went to a place outside of Mostar, Blajed or something, where they have a spring coming out of a mountain, and its the biggest in Europe! The water was totally clear! Also, they have the ruins of a big castle, deserted after a big earthquake that ruined all of it. The castle/fortress was buildt by Herzog Stefan Vukcic, and Herzegovina named after him.
Today I have just walked about some more, the city is very diverse, and I have seen a Mosque at one side of the road, and a church at the other. Because of the many mosques here you can clearly hear the call to prayer, and I really like it.

Tomorrow I am going to Sarajevo, there I will be for two nights, and then go on to Slovenia again, but now to Lake Bled. Its really beautiful there, and I think they still do kayaking! :D
Stay there for 3 days, and then go home.

Ser du likvel endte opp i Mostar, håper du ikke blei skuffa av forslaget mitt. Jeg tenkte jeg kunne nevnt det vannutløpet (huska ikke helt hvordan det var), men du fant jo ut av det helt på egen hånd :) Leste du ikke fikk dratt i den grotten i slovenia, det var litt synd, er faktisk verdt å se, men du skal jo til Bled hvor det som du sier er helt fantastisk :D kos deg masse!
