Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Old Bridge

We took an overnight side trip to our fifth country on this vacation -- Bosnia and Herzegovina -- and spent the night in the city of Mostar. Mona and I visited Mostar on our previous trip to Croatia and were excited.  The nice thing about repeat visits is I've usually done a previous blog entry about what we're seeing. I have a nice description of Mostar from 2022 here.

I promise I'm not being lazy -- just efficient 😀.  We even stayed at the same AirBnB as last time because the location was perfect, adjacent to the old city center.  We had a great meal over looking the Old Bridge and Doug and I split what I've come to call the Bosnian meat feast, complete with local beer.

After a nice whirlwind visit in Mostar, we stopped at Kravica Waterfall on our way back to Croatia.  On the last trip, we made a brief stop to see the waterfalls and then went on our way.  It is a popular spot for the locals who come here to hang out, swim, and truly enjoy the magic.  We said if we made it back, we'd do the same thing.  So we put on our swimsuits, packed our cooler, and spent several hours with the locals as if we were at the beach, except here we had crystal clear, cold water and the sounds of waterfalls surrounding us.  We could have easily spent the entire day, but we had a dinner reservation in Dubrovnik.  More on that later.
