The Balkans - Bosnia&Hertzegovina


The bus ride from Makarska to Mostar went smoothly except for this couple and their kid who put up a show all the time while parents were arguing about their future..

Soon after grossing the boarder I realized that Bosnia didn’t belong to EU since my internet stopped working :D I talked with this guy from the US on the bus and he was heading straight to Sarajevo. Crossing the border this woman game inside the bus, checked our passports and then we continued. Then we stopped, and our passports were collected and then after a while they were brought back to us while we just sat on the bus. Easy.

The bus did arrive on time to the East bus terminal in Mostar. From there I just walked straight along this street for about 15 minutes and then stairs up and found my hostel: Design hostel StarMo which was brand new! They had just opened in the middle of April and WOU! Definitely design hostel it was. They had thought everything through and I have never been in a hostel like that. I can definitely recommend it. This nice woman met me in the reception and I paid 7€ / night. On the first night I was the only one in 12 bed room and second night there were two guys there.





After I quick shower and 10 minutes I was out and went to find that famous bridge. Literally stairs down from this small hill and I arrived into Old Town and found the bridge in 5 minutes.  Not too many tourists there at all! I wandered around the streets with my flipflops and tried not to fall down on them slippery rocks. Found some live music and went to eat there close by. Bosnia had their own currency but they did accept Croatian money or Euros so I managed the two days without changing any money at all. It was proper maths when paying mixed with this money:

2 mk = 1 €
1 mk x 4 = 4 kn




After eating I went to sit down in this placed called Oscar with the loudest music in Old Town. Ordered Somersby (4 mk) and the next one was brought to me for free by the owner of the place. Offered me more but only drank two there and left to sleep. Felt a bit underdressed there without make up, wet hair and alone since all the other women there were properly dressed up. :D Lots of Shisha in the bar / club! Also, the souvenir shops reminded me of some Muslim countries with the stuff they sold! Like in Egypt for example.

Really really liked the Old Town!
