2.5 hour drive brought us to the lukomir village, the highest altitude and most remote village in bosnia. our trek took us to a viewpoint of the Rakitnica canyon and the Bjelašnica mountain range. Spectacular views. The lunch was provided by one of the main families in the village. potato and cheese pies, with tomatoes and cucumber salad and goat milk which tasted sour and un-pasteurized. only took a few sips. then bosnian coffee which was a variation of turkish coffee using the same style brass pot and tiny cups, not too strong with a medium flavor. the village had a cemetery with ancient tombstones the stecci. on our way back to sarajevo, it rained a little and it turned the barren mountains into misty blears. very romantic. Back in Sarajevo, it continued to drizzle which was actually refreshing, a break from the oppressing heat. so I ventured out to finish up my souvenir purchases and had some more of Grandman's Kitchen's sarmas. loved their food. lovely city with so much bloody history. really loved it.
