Having to learn to speak English and integrate into English life was a challenge and I will always remember what it felt like to not understand anything going on around me!
Sarajevo
Sarajevo was also the host city for the 1984 Winter Olympics....and although I have not been skiing, it would be a fantastic place to go to in winter!
This was 'Vucko' the best Olympic mascot that has been created....
Old olympic sign, sadly with bullet holes...
When sitting on the ski-lifts I saw the most amazing views....although it was pretty high up!
(I'm in the middle looking scared!)
'Planine'- meaning mountains

Finally on my tour of Eastern Europe...the other wonderous natural sight that I love with all my soul is the Neretva River...the largest river of the eastern part of the 'Adriatic basin'...
Visit if you can..it is one of the most wonderful places on Earth!
Thanks for your comments on my blog. I haven't updated it for such a long time but am still doing art in Sarajevo! Send me a line whenever you come mext. If I am here we should have coffee! You can practise your French with me! Cheers, Rebecca (the one on the right on the picture!)
ReplyDeleteI've always always wanted to visit Bosnia. I had a friend who was from Prijedor, he would always tell me stories about his life there and how beautiful the country was. He decided to move back there a few years ago and couldn't be happier! Lovely post and pictures

You should visit! I'm sure you would capture some amazing photos! Lots of tourists go there now and Croatia is also not too far to get to the sea! Neum is still part of Bosnia by the sea....
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you like my pics! :) xxx
