So, we took a late bus to Mostar, Bosnia and arrived at 2am. Firstly, the bus took like, 5 breaks, so we could have probably driven here in like 1.5 hours. Also, we had four passport checks, during none of which I actually had my passport (it was in my bag underneath the bus) but no one seemed to care.
We arrived and walked around for a long ass time before finding a shady ass hotel that would take us. For the price we paid, it was crap, but we were out of other options besides sleeping on a park bench.
Woke up this morning, and headed into the town of Mostar. It is crazy here. REALLY hot, probably because it is nestled in a valley and the heat gets trapped.
We walked across the famous Mostar bridge and ate lunch at a super cute, and very Bosnian little restaurant in the shade. No tourists there, just local people. Clay tried the Bosnian special plate, it was cute. Lots of veggies wrapped around some kind of meatloafy thing. I tried some, but was afraid to order it, so I just picked of Clays and had a weiner schnitzel.
More walking around and picture taking in Mostar before grabbing our stuff and heading to Sarajevo tonight for a few days.
By the way, there are tons of bombed out buildings and bullet holes, not to mention graves all over the place, all with markers from 1992 and 1993 from the war. It is like nothing I have ever seen.

Bullet holes? Man! Do they sell left over war shells as souvenirs? Cause that would be hot, I'd definitely buy one.
