Day 65 Traveling to Sarajevo

This day was a travel day again, usually these are not really something I write about but going through Bosnia turned out to be a quite emotional ride…

First getting out of Split… I took a few short cuts through small pathways and suddenly I was attacked by this huge dog… luckily I managed to jump just outside the reach of his line… so his jaws snapped shut in mid air… phew!

Later on I got a ride with this truck that drove about 80 km/h on the small mountain road with sharp turns (and a speed limit of 40). The big thing was not the crazy speed though, but to see all the bombed out houses in the landscape… there is so much destruction here… even in Sarajevo most houses still have bullet holes in the plaster… you can really feel it wasn’t long ago this country was in war.

The countryside in Split… or rather this is actually still in the city.. these people LOVE their vegetables…

 

This was the dog that jumped me… I had to go back and take a photo (on a safe distance)

 

The roads to Sarajevo where beautiful in the beginning… blue water… green trees and sand

 

They had signs warning for cows on the roads which I thought was funny to start with…

 

Then I realized why… there where cows walking over the roads here and there…

Later on the was a more common scenery… almost every second house was without a roof, and the ones still standing usually had big bullet holes in them.

 

More houses

I walked by a 5 star hotel in Sarajevo and saw a sign saying that you are not allowed to bring dogs … or GUNS into the hotel… kind of tells you where you are…
