So believe it or not (I'm still in denial myself) in less than 2 hrs I'll be leaving the land of spectacular Ottoman and Roman architecture, swimming in the Adriatic Sea and 50 cent beers...back to reality.
My final days in Croatia were amazing.... after a few days of the good life with my family. Complete with a day trip to Montenegro to see the mountains that just fall into the sea--so cool! Of course our visit to the mountain village of 4 goats and a church to enjoy the local delicacy of ham and cheese with the only other choice being cheese and ham. It was fun and good thing Mark was around as I managed to dance in the ocean with a sea urchin and he was able to extract the spines with the help from his assistant Donna who provided wine as my anesthesia.
Hallie and Fiona (my Aussie friends) managed to cross 4 countries in 2 days and they arrived in Dubrovnik in time before I had to head East. We had some great days on the beach with "lilo's" or rafts in American dialect. After talking up Bosnia I convinced them to join me for the last two days of my trip as I returned to Sarajevo to pick up my flight. So the three of us jumped in their van (bought in Ireland) so right hand drive now on the right side of the road. A very interesting experience for riding shotgun... although I have to admit they have pretty sweet setup. With a futon in the back and bikes strapped onto the back door. I'll be posting pics of this one for sure! Anyways all was good until we go to cross the boarder into Bosnia and let's just say the control was not so impressed by their insurance papers, however nothing 30 Euros and a smile couldn't fix. So there we were sun setting in Croatia... still in our bathers and eating Bosnia lollies on the border while he filled out the Bosnian Insurance pass...sure!
We have spent the last few days cruising the Bosnian countryside... buying delicious fruit on the side of the road and enjoying the life here. We arrived into Sarajevo yesterday and they fell in love with this city and Hotel Hollywood as much as I. Shhh just don't tell reception there are actually 3 of us in the room. Alas all good things must come to an end... and our last van adventure will be to the airport in just a few hrs. Ok I'm off to have my last Sarajevo espresso... so good this I will really miss!
talk so everyone from home...
thanks for following my adventures and keeping me company while I was on the road.
I'll post pictures soon!
