PART XXIX: MOSTAR (11/2-3)


View Europe Travels in a larger map. Don't forget to click on photos to make them larger.

We got to climb up the minaret of a mosque very near our hostel. 


The cemetery across the street had some interesting features like this neat little pavilion.

This was the first time either of us had been in a mosque and it was gorgeous!

The fountain in which people going to prayer wash their hands before entering the mosque.

Stari Most, Mostar's most notable landmark, was destroyed in the Croat-Bosniak War in 1993 and was rebuilt and opened in 2004.

Mostar is a really cool city because there are thriving Christian and Islamic communities existing side-by-side.

On Stari Most.

A neat teahouse next to Stari Most.

Turkish tea!

There were a lot of souvenir shops in Mostar as tourism is a major source of income in the city. Here is a beautiful little peacock that reminded us of Lokrum island. PEACOCK COUNT: 17
