HARE KRISHNA SARAJEVO
From Dubrovnik, we caught a bus to Mostar, Hercegovina. I was on a guided tour here, as Virve had been here before. Mostar was maybe the most heavy place on this trip to be in, mentally, because the signs of the war were still shown everywhere. Bullet holes in the walls, marble, everywhere. Bombarded buildings. Only the Unesco world heritage site, the Old Bridge of Mostar, was rebuilt identical to the bombed one.
Sad but yet so very rewarding to notice that people seemed happier here than in richer Croatia, for example.
Currently we are in Sarajevo.
Where east meets west. It actually does here.
Yesterday we listened to a group singing and playing Hare Krishna in front of a catholic church. Opposite to a mosque. In Sarajevo. This was quite moving.
We are going to take night train to Belgrad tonight. If the train is not too much late, we are taking a following train directly after the train arrives to Belgrad, to Sofia. So about 16h sitting in the train in front of us. Toppen!
