Re-unabridged

Here it is - the first time a location has featured twice (bar places I've lived). But it's not surprising it's somewhere like Mostar. Think I wrote plenty about it last time - but it's no less arresting the second. As per the name (Mostar comes from the word "Most" for bridge), there's little doubting what the focal point of the town is, so this time I gave it due attention.

Going to the bridge museum provided further insight into what it meant to the town, and the history of it and it's symbolic role in the conflict(s) which reached flashpoint here.


On this visit, we decided to stay in the town overnight, a decision we didn't regret - staying in a hotel overlooking one of the tributary streams running through the town, and exploring the backstreets, was a great experience. Just in case anyone needed it, here's proof that places worth going to, are worth going to again!
