Bus.




Today we were prepared for the long ride ahead of us. We knew that today was dedicated solely to driving. In just one short hour we made it to the border crossing they nullified our stamps, and we hit the roads again. We slept, played cards, hung our heads out windows (view from the sunroof, thanks to the guys for the boost so I could actually see out), and enjoyed each other’s company for the day. We finally stopped at Mokra Gora a small town on the top of the mountain for dinner. This was your typical tourist trap, with expensive food and souvenirs, but it was a welcome break from the bus. This town is also known as “The Wooden City”, it was a set for a past movie (relaxing in the wooden city pictures below) . After dinner we trekked back down the hill to our bus, and started to make our way to Sarajevo.  On our way we stopped at the famous bridge over the Drina River. This bridge is famous because it separated two sides during the war. About an hour away from Sarajevo we found out we had to take a detour, due rockslides in the area. Luckily Dragan our bus driver was patient and persistent, because by midnight we had finally made it to our hotel in Sarajevo.
