Mostar Old Bridge
Day 11, Wednesday June 19th, 2013 - continued
We arrived in Mostar in the afternoon and joined our local guide for a walking tour of Mostar. We were told about the war in the early 1990's between the Croats, Serbs, and Muslim Bosniaks who had lived peacefully during the time of Tito. We saw the results of the war with bombed out buildings and other buildings containing bullet holes. We saw a very moving video of the famous Old Bridge being bombarded with artillery and finally collapsing into the Neretva River. Take a look at the slides to the right. |

The video of the Old Bridge collapsing into the Neretva River and the beauty of the rebuilt bridge was very moving. We took many pictures of the bridge trying to capture the moment. |

Tomorrow we leave beautiful Mostar and head for our last destination of Dubrovnik.
