This blog will be about my upcoming trip to Europe. The first leg will be with my wife. I will then my my friend Scott in Italy and spend two weeks traveling with him.

Pansion Bascarsija breakfasted at -- on Burek: filodough filled with spinach (or cheese, or meat) and covered with cream or yoghurt. A plateful for 2KM. The guy beside me said it's actually a Turkish dish, he was with the delegation of the Turkish President who is currently in town. Also purchased some delicious Bosnian sweets (marzipa, coconut, fig) as gifts from a local store.taxi back to the airport used the meter - and hey, it was 20KM - E10 after all. Do wicenja ...

Haven't really been there except drove a road that goes in there for a while. We stopped for 10 minutes to take pictures and that we could say that we have been there :p

THANK YOU to everyone who sends me postcards and help make my collection grow! I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH! If you sent me a postcard and you don't see it in this blog, it means it's still on its way or I never received it because it got lost or someone stole it. Yeah, it happens.

some pics I took while on peace mission in Bosnia.

The travel bug was bothering me again and so my best friend and I decided to find the 1st cheap plane ticket to Europe we saw! We booked a flight to Budapest, Hungary for approximately $600 total which was pretty amazing. We wanted an unconventional spring break trip and boy did we get it! We ended up traveling through Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and even a little bit of Italy!

While at Split, I made a sidetrip to Mostar in Bosnia-Hercegovina without Kim as New Zealanders require a visa for entry into the country. Mostar is famous for the historical bridge which collapsed during the Balkan conflict ... many of you will recall images of this on the news. Arrival in the town stirred a sick feeling in me as the bus drove along the former frontline, with ruins of buildings riddled with bullet-holes. Muslims now occupy the old Turkish town (where cafe culture is not only...

It was 800 meters long, there is 60 meters still around that youcan walk through. There was also a little museum set up where we watched avideo about the siege. There was a mortar stuck in the cement right in frontof the tunnel. When mortars hit the g...

Thanks to all the TBs for sending postcards (they know who they are) and everybody else... :)

Woke up late because I was so tired after the bus ride here. First task of the day, avoid the mental woman. Failed miserably, she was waiting in the room next to me and saw me when I came back from the bathroom. She's like a ghost. Told her that I was going to be spending the day with a fellow english tourist, which was my way of getting out of going to the tunnel museum with her. Feared that if I told her it was a bosnian, she might think it was competition and have her terminated. Back to t...

This was my first true travelling experience and i blame this experience for my addiction to travelling!
