Imagine two worlds separated by one bridge. On one side Christian church crosses are raised into the air while on the other side, Muslim mosque steeples reach towards the sky. A beautiful cobblestone path takes you through a medieval feeling city with Turkish influenced architecture singing from the houses along the path. The cobblestone path stretches from one side, to far across the bridge on the other side. Walking along the cobblestone path, there are occasional stone buildings that have been abandoned and wear the appearance of a war that was not too long ago. Yet friendly, warm faces of the people who live here greet you along your walk on this enchanting path. This is Mostar Bosnia. And this was one of our favorite stops!! Mostar Bosnia was a completely unplanned visit. We rented a car in Dubrovnik Croatia and decided to visit Mostar on our way up to another city in Croatia called Split. We were so incredibly glad that we did!! Although our time was very short (just a half day) we felt like we were the only tourists over there and we were so in love with the charm of the city and authentic feel that Mostar has. Thank you for your beautiful bridge, delicious food, kind people, up-close views of a recent war, charming feel, and wonderful supermarket Mostar. We will be back again some day!!

Most succulent meal we've had up to this point. Seriously the best sausage links I have Ever eaten, they make me drool just thinking about them...
Mostar...well done, we tip our hats to you fine sir
Mostar, Bosnia
Mostar bridge in all it's glory!! During the summer time they have traditional Mostar divers that dive from the top of the bridge 70 feet down
Ice cream and introspection
A little excessive on the bridge pictures? Maybe...but only cause its awesome!
Medieval feel to it right?!
