Mostar, Bosnia

Hello,
Well our 4 hour bus ride from Budva to Mostar ended up being 6 on a bus with a driver wanting to take his last drive. He drove CRAZY. It is pretty bad when the man sitting next to you pulls out is catholic rosary and prayers out loud a lot. You had to hold on all the time. I was so sick and nausuaded. We had to go through Croatia and at the boarder the patrol came on our bus and check our passports they asked a man to get off we watched and they checked through his bags then we just left him. Who knows what the deal was with that. We finally made it and we got a room from a guy at the bus station. It is really nice. Mostar is beautiful yet sad. There are many buildings demolished from the war and a lot of evidence. The cemetaries are filled with tombs that date in 93-95. We are very near the old town and we have visited many musuems and buildings. It is extremely hot here and without an ac at night we sweated like you would not believe our first night. We both woke up feeling very ill. We got a banana and juice and felt to weak to walk around. We borrowed a fan from our host guy and ended up taking a nap for about half a day, then we felt somewhat better after lots of fluids. I however have a cold too. Allergies here are killing me. I do feel somewhat better today. Today we walked around some more and took a bus to a near by town about 30 min. We went to see a river gushing out of a cave in the mountains. They were neat, we also went inside a Tekija a devish monastery. I had to put this wrap around my legs and then a shawl covering my hair and arms. We saw the oldest toliet in the western balkins there. When then hiked up this mountain to a 15century fort. It was great because we were on this mountain and inside the fort all alone it is not visited very often. The views were amazing. We have also visited several mosque and 5 times a day they say a prayer over the sound speakers which is the call to pray. It is very interesting to hear. Except for it wakes you up around 4 in the morning and it goes on until late at night. We will leave tomorrow at 753 on a train to Sarajevo. We will talk back soon it may not be everyday but as often as we can. sometimes we dont have access to the internet. Love you all!!!
