The Balkans
“One week, three countries and a Barry…”
A great chance to see the different cultures and scenery of Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Montenegro
First holiday venture with Newmarket holidays. As the youngest out of the group we felt that the holiday company was aimed for a more ‘mature’ clientele.
The group was also larger at about 25 than we were used to but maybe we have been spoiled.
The guide ‘Dani’ was very friendly and knowledgably. Anthony the driver also did a fantastic job including seemingly bribing the border security with bottles of water to speed us through to Montenegro.
A day trip into Bosnia Herzegovina and a visit to Roosters favourite place of the holiday; the city of Mostar which is renowned for its iconic Stari Most (Old Bridge), a 16th-century Ottoman bridge spanning the Neretva River. The city’s rich history blends Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian influences, evident in its architecture and culture. Mostar is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its charming old town, vibrant markets, and stunning natural surroundings.
There were evidence of the wars all over the place. So very sad.
The young locals were collecting money from the bridge and once they had enough it was a a dive into the water. Cola did not want Rooster to have a try….
We ate in the Resaran Kulluk which had fabulous views of the bridge.
