A bridge over troubled waters

The beautiful old Ottoman bridge in Mostar, concidered the capital of Herzegovina (part of Bosnia) and one of the most idyllic and beautiful towns I have ever visited. This bridge was bombed by the croatian side during the war in the early 90's but has been rebuilt again using Bosnian and Croatian teams together, connecting the two sides of Mostar yet again.

  4. D reb, going to Bosnia has been one of my most amazing experiences. Seeing the beauty, the destruction, the pain and the hope is quite overwhelming as you may recall I blogged about it quite a bit last summer. Wow time flies.

    Candy, you MUST go. It is amazing there, one of my favourite towns in the whole wide world. I mean it is just so damn beautiful...especially the old town area...rest is still rather bombed.

    G Girl! We aim to please you with photos lol Isn't it wonderful? I wanted this with the blog, a place where people could get a glimpse of other people's lives that one normally would never see.
