Sarajevo was an awesome city with a really positive vibe that you could feel in the streets. The city is trying to reinvent itself after the war while remembering the tragedies that occured with dignity. While Bosnia was very friendly and safe to travel the tours we did and people we met exuded a feeling of underlying tension and scary sub surface realities.
Bled was unreal. The Julien Alps surround this postcard town with an island in the middle of the lake. The hiking is fantastic, the views unrivaled and the water was warm to swim in. We managed to get mostly sunshine in Bled while others we encountered had seen nothing but rain. that being said we were rained out on our last hike . Completely saturated we ran after a bus to get back to the hostel for warm showers and a pizza dinner.
Praha...unbelievable! This city has it all, history, architecture, pubs, nightlife, outdoor festing and the best part beer that is cheaper than water! Thats right, beer that is cheaper than water! In prague we did a dfantastic city tour, visited the jewish museum, crossed the Charles Bridge, strolled the grounds of prague castle and signed the Lennon wall. The Lennon wall was especially neat. It is the only wall in Prague where grafitti is allowed and it is a dedication to John Lennon and the ideals of peace and freedom which he espoused.
Well there is much more to tell, but I will save more writing for our return. For now, gere are some pics.
