The Drina-Tara Rafting Center is an AMAZING place! It's like a small village, with a central meeting "lodge" where the most delicious and abundant meals were served. OMG, so much food! We stayed in a deluxe bungalow, which included our own private bathroom. Worth every penny! It was tiny, but since we weren't in it much, it worked well. No a/c, but temps were in the low 50's at night, so it was only warm in the late afternoon. The rafting was SO MUCH FUN! We wer...

Today's adventure was to a place up in the mountains called Sunnyland. We had seen it while on our driving tour the other day and thought it looked like something worth exploring. We drove right to it, and since it was sort of overcast with a chance of rain, it wasn't crowded at all. It basically consists of a small roller coaster with a restaurant and a coffee house. There's a children's play area as well. Tickets for the coaster set us back $5 for the two of u...

Today's blog is a twofer--combining two days worth of touring into one. The day after our food tour, we drove ourselves into the city and parked at this huge mall that's right on the edge of the pedestrian area. Parking costs about $0.75 an hour, so very reasonable. We wandered all over the old Town area, stopping to visit sights we'd seen the day before with our guide. It's not that large of an area, and is pretty easy to navigate. They have a city bus tour th...

The apartment we've rented comes with an OLD cellphone that we are supposed to be able to use for calling taxis, food delivery, etc. Rich needed help figuring out how to set it up with the remote wifi, so our host had a friend come by and fix it. He fixed it all right. We couldn't use it after he left. :( The joys of technology! Our meeting point for our tour was ambiguous--Rich thought it was at one place, I thought another and neither was right. We tried calli...

We left our Croatia apartment about 7:30 yesterday morning and got across the border into Bosnia with no wait and no fuss! Easiest crossing yet! It isn't very far from one place to the other, but the route takes you through the mountains and NUMEROUS small villages, so the speed limit is between 40-60 kph, which means SLOW. Which explains why we got there at 2:30. We arrived into Sarajevo and made a wrong turn and ended up going on the steepest road we've ever ...
