My Travel Adventures

We made a second loop around Sarajevo this morning, beginning with a breakfast at a local bakery. Our first stop was Ali Pasha’s Mosque, named after an Ottoman governor of Bosnia in the 16 th century. Surrounding the mosque is a small cemetery occupied mostly by the graves of soldiers fallen in the Yugoslav Wars. Many of the tombstones are decorated with what appear to be marble turbans, presumably an indicator of status.

Today was another major driving day. Yang cleverly anticipated that we would lose our roaming data in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so we downloaded Google Maps to help triangulate with our GPS. It did not take long to reach Bosnia from Dubrovnik despite driving along quite narrow country roads. As we rose from the coast to the mountains, we could see the city below us, and the scenery kept impressing us with more beautiful views.
