Rocking out in Bosnia

semi-overcast 21 °C

Got to bosnia safe and sound, not at all what I expected...not sure what I expected? But it is beautiful, mountains and green. Although some of the buildings and houses are wrecked the people are friendly and curious about us and the bike. feel like a rock star here, people stare and take photos, especially when we go off the main roads. The locals are super friendly and stuff is good value for money, even cheap compared to London standards. Not sure what else to say, so I will let the local rikeja talk for me! Went to Jajce and went to the Mountain top fort were the Bosnian kings were crowned and also saw the catacombs, then took the bike and rode down an awesome canyon until we got to a church that survived the Ottoman era conquests but not NATO bombs so they rebuilt a new one out of concrete, also plenty mosques here. Then had a braai Bosnian style on raised bricks and checked out the river and waterfalls. I will let the photos explain. So far very impressed and not sure why people dont come here. Oh ja the roads are befuckt, good quality and windy, windy, so good for bikes. Checked some guys on a big trike, they were straight out of the eighties, like from mad max, with the big mirrored sun glasses and Mowhawks! Anyways the girl at the campsite has just got us some local cakes from her friend and bought us a local beer so better get back to having a good time.
P.S meet some bikers from Czech republic and we couldn't understand each other but the blue berry schnapps was the common ground. haha. Have a good weekend everyone and remember your lifestyle determines your death style...so party hard

A new day, a new adventure.
So glad you have not lost faith after the robbery.
Good for you both.
