Mostar!
By far one of my favorite places! You can still feel some tension from the history, and you can witness the aftermath of the war. The preserved area, the old town where the tourist go is beautiful. The streets are covered with round pebbles, according to legend the men made the pebble streets and forced their women wear wood clogs to make them have a hard time walking, that way they wouldn't run of with other men. Funny fact is that now a days some girls tried to walk the streets in heels, IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!
The restaurant in Mostar was delicious and the service was great! They gave us free Grapa shots! and the most delicious dessert. And yes I know this is useless information if I didn't get names but I was on vacation so whatever!
The water in the river was super cold! Me and my dad placed our feet in the water. I seriously couldn't believe how cold the water was since Mostar is like being the ant underneath a magnifying glass.
The BRIDGE of Mostar! is super tall! and some people even jump of it just for show! Check video!
Legend says that the Zar ordered the bridge built, but he was mean and inconsiderate and forced an Architect to build it threatening him with death if the bridge fell. The architect was terrified and searched for help from a gypsy. She read the future and read that the only way the bridge would not fall was if the architect buried two lovers one on each side from the bridge. Two young lovers were sacrificed and buried they're souls only connecting through the bridge. Legend says that just in case the bridge didn't stand a night before inauguration day the architect fled and was never seen again. Who knows if the lovers were truly buried, but the bridge has continued to stand even through war, death, chaos.
