Bosnia

Got back to the hostel from exit fest at around 8am. Got an hour of sleep on the back from novi sad and 2 more at the hostel before catching our bus to Bosnia. In theory this should be look a two hour trip (only 200 km away), but it took 8 hours! One lane roads through the mountains, stopping for cows and  tractors (and for driver smoke breaks, and to pick up/ drop off his friends...). It was beautiful view the entire ride and I needed the rest.

That city is small, pretty, and easy to navigate, but not too much to do. Just like in Serbia almost all the museums are closed due to lack of funds/corruption. We did get into the war museum. Falling apart and fairly amateur, but full of interesting artifacts, photos, and stories from their war with Serbia. The city was a disaster 20 years, and even though it still needs some work, it's come along way (I overheard a guide saying a child was killed a week ago by a landmine!).  We also found a fantastic private photo gallery that told the story of the genocide that happened during 94. Very arresting photos of a bleak time in history.

Went to the ONLY vegi restaurant in Bosnia, run by the chef/author of the ONLY vegi cookbook in Bosnia. He is also the waiter! It takes about 2 hours to order and get your food and theirs I only 4 tables, but we brought cards and the food was great.
