A few miles down the road from the stones the unpaved road went to paved again and there were really long sweeping bends on it. It was good to be back on the tarmac. I also went passed another Lake, Lake Blininje
I stopped at this little village which had a small supermarket, with a cafe attached to it at N43.54550 E17.41024 and had a Kava before pushing on to some Waterfalls I wanted to visit. https://i.imgur.com/gEjbD4Yl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9H8hZAJl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AqKNPvDl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WF0L7JGl.jpg |
Next up was the Kravice Waterfalls N43.15641 E17.60898, I thought they were better than the other falls I visited. They were also a lot easier to get there, no heart attack mountain to climb…thankfully. It was a five minute walk from where I left the bike. I had a nice Kava before I left the area.

Once I left the Waterfall I had one more thing to see before I went to find somewhere to sleep, Pocitelj Castle N43.13303 E17.73093. Just as was on the outskirts of Pocitelj I met and got talking to a rider from Austria on a GS1200, he was just out day riding from where he was stopping. Had a natter for about 20 mins before he went towards Mostar and I continued pottering about.

Short journey tomorrow, booked a room for £26 for 3 nights in Mostar, which is my last stop in Bosnia before heading to Kotor in Montenegro Wayne |

Day 19 Balkans Trip
Day 19 Balkans Trip
Just a sort trip of about 10 mile this morning to get into Mostar. Had a steady ride in and went to find where I will be staying. As I was early I went for a bit of a ride around the town before finding a Cafe for some fruit tea. Got settled into the room. It is not as good as the last place I stayed in but its clean and for £7 a night you can not complain. Most importantly Arrunya is in a garage out of the way. I am going to try and get the left pannier of tomorrow. The biggest worry is that it won’t go back on. But I need to check the pannier frame in more detail, just to make sure its not cracked and also try and straighten the top of the case out as the lid doesn’t fit properly now so its not waterproof and the last think I need is a wet Mac Air. Some views from on the way into Mostar https://i.imgur.com/p6oc6gyl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mNAu5gFl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iPpTyIZl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hpHyy8Ul.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mRIqxSvl.jpg The Room https://i.imgur.com/yqAilV0l.jpg |
Also went out to the supermarket and got my self a treat

Stay local and on foot today. Had a walk into the old town and into the newer part of town. Where ever you go in the town there is still a lot of scaring from the War. The old bridge is looking good after the renovation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mostar The Old Town https://i.imgur.com/v8IG4EBl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/fHtOGpNl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WED1LXNl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kyQsbuSl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YI8KnqWl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1xfmQmjl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eCvTQw4l.jpg |

Still a lot of scaring from the War mixed in with the normal everyday life. Apart from this reminder it is hard to imagine this was a besieged town. It has a great Adriatic feeling about it

I don't want to make it any worse so it can wait to get sorted properly once I am back in the UK. Just hope it doesn't rain as it won't be very water tight now :thumbdown: Tomorrow I am going for a ride around and hoping to visit Blagaj 10km south of Mostar and source off the river Buna. Wayne |
Great report fella :thumbup1:
Get some 2" plastic duct tape, to run around the pannier lid in the event of rain. |
