Off to Bosnia 6.8.15 Despite our flight being at 10.30 am our pick up was 7.45 am, so a long but uneventful wait at Dalaman, Turkiye, and of course being a Pegasus flight we were over half an hour late taking off. By the time we got to Sabiha Göckçen, found departures and queued for…
A scary start but things improved 6.8.15 The blonde lady with the Opel spoke virtually no English, and we don’t speak Bosnian so it was a quiet journey, until her phone beeped and she was texting while driving.

A fabulous day in Blagaj 11.8.15 As promised the owner from our apart drove us out to Blagaj. It’s a beautiful old stone village set by the start of the river. Set beside the mountain and a cave is a 15th century Ottoman Dervish house. We had a wander around the little house, appropriately dressed…
Escaping Adriatic rooms and back to Sarajevo 24.8.15 Up early and had breakfast, checked out and got the bus to Dubrovnik Old Town and then the 1a to the bus station. We were way too early for our 1pm bus but anything was better than spending an extra minute in the Adriatic rooms.Not a cloud…
