Bosnia & Herzegovina - border crossing to Croatia (22 Oct 2012)

We drove along the E761. We just love driving along these roads at our own pace taking in the views of the valley and mountains.

Just 1 km from rest area outside Kupress, driving downhill Dad was stopped for not wearing his seat belt. I was driving and nicely enjoying the winding roads that I did not realise he did not have his seat belt on. We got away with a token 5 Euros, chit chat for a bit and the same policeman told us that UN Malaysian contigent served here. Further down the road, we see empty houses riddled with bullet holes, even cottages belonging to farmers were not spared.

Bosnia & Herzegovina (19 Oct 2012)–Mostar, Blagaj and onwards to Sarajevo

We started our morning at the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over Neretva River and a visit to the Old Bridge Museum. The museum had quite a lot of information on the Old Bridge since its original construction in 1566. The wooden bridge, as it was then, took 9 years to plan and build. Over the years, it was fortified and strengthened. In 1993, the bridge was completely destroyed in the conflict.

Bosnia & Herzegovina (18 Oct 2012)– Travel from Klobuk to Mostar

Bosnia & Herzegovina was not on our planned route but we decided to give the country a visit as we were so close to it. We reached the border post at about 10am and within minutes we were stamped in. We bought 5 days insurance cover at the border for 47 Euro (a 3 day cover costs 26 Euro), much more expensive compared to what we paid for Montenegro but we had no choice. 


The scenery that greeted us on entry was breathtaking. It was nice driving down the winding road that took us from Klobuk towards Mostar.
