"I want to bathe in this coffee" |
Stari Most The most popular reason to visit Mostar is because of this one bridge. The bridge is so popular that the Red Bull diving competition is hosted here. There are multiple people each day that try to collect money along the bridge and then jump off of it. Unfortunately, during our time there, we waited around an hour as these guys stood there saying they were going to jump and then they didn't and I ended up getting shat on my a bird so I took it as a sign to get on with the rest of my day. You can swim in the river by the bridge, however be warned, it's f r e e z i n g. I was also a bit concerned in the afternoon when I saw people swimming in the area as there are also people fishing so it's not the safest and obviously, no life guards on duty. |
Learn about the History Bosnia has a lot of very recent history that is worth exploring and learning about. Mostar has multiple museums where you can visit and learn about the struggles the country went through during their recent war. I often avoid these as my mental health has been very unstable for some years now and I can't always put myself in those situations but I be sure to talk to people where possible to find out their views, what they experienced etc. |
Coffee Time! Those of you that know me, know that I am a coffee w h o r e. A good cup of coffee is my travel essential otherwise, I will be in a mood for the entire day (or until I find some yummy food or something but coffee is a must!) Luckily, we stumbled upon this adorable coffee shop called Café de Alma. To me, this was my little paradise away from the crowds. Pam and I were the only non-Bosnians but the lovely young lady spoke English beautifully and explained the whole process of blending the perfect Bosnian Coffee. This coffee was probably the best coffee I'd had in a very long time. Luckily for me, Pam doesn't like black coffee so I got a little extra to enjoy. |
