Hey there all,

So we made it into bosnia and sarajevo!!!! so happy to make it!!! we had challenges to say the least! Missed the 9:30 am bus (turns out it just drove by because it was full!!). So he caught the 11:25 bus and yes this was full as well so we had to stand for the 4 hours to got to Niscic. Then once at Niscic we had to trasfer to a bus going to sarajevo. This too was busy so we had another 5 hours standing. It was a tough day to say the least!!!! Made better by the people that we have met!!! there is this crazy guy from belgium, a girls from the UK (bristol ) and a guy from aussie land!!!! we kinda had maximized the additional "free" space on the bus. took turns sitting at the front RIGHT by the driver!!! the drive into bosnia was beautiful thou - one of the most stunning drives i have ever been on (got to see tara canon and the river tara - WOW is a good adjective!!!) anyway - the city of sarajevo is wonderful - turkish quarter is realy interesting - did loads of shopping!!!! met some interesting people, and tomorrow we are doing the tunnel tour. One thing that i was happy to do was see the location where the archduke franz ferdinan was assassinated and where some say WWI began - i however think that it started long before that! his death was just an excuse to get it all going!!!! It was known that Franz father Joseph I was not a big fan of his son (he was a bit of a crazy!!) AND that he had been aware that there was a possible atempt was going to occur - if that is not enough you would think that the failed attempt made on his life earlier that day would have put uf some flags!!! BUT no, Franz still travelled in an open air car with no protection down the street. Sorry for the history lesson!!!

anyway - ange and i are off to belgrade late tomorrow night on yet ANOTHER bus. serbia here i come.

hope all is well and will post again to, miss and love!!! M.
