Got up at 6:30 to photograph the old bridge and walk across it without tourists in the way. I so loved this town.
Today we went to Počitelj and climbed to Sahat Kula, the silo-shaped fort that dominated the town skyline. The views up there were breathtaking. We could see the meandering Netreva and the valley. Then we drove to the Kravica falls on the Trebižat River. Due to the drought and being summer, the cascades werent spectacular and too many locals bathing. The water was clear but tiny fish swam in it and it didnt look very clean or healthy. Not really impressed though Snowie took some photos. Saw some women with hijabs and fully clothed swimming. Their clothing of course was all wet and clung to their bodies, and I wondered how they would dry themselves or change since there werent any proper changing rooms there. At Blagaj, we had a lunch of delicious grilled fresh trouts from the buna river right next to the restaurant. The Tekija, an ottoman house and Dervish monastery was adjacent to the Buna spring which feeds the buna river. Blagaj also had a few old flour mills still powered by the Buna. back at Mostar, had wanted meat for dinner but instead Alen took us to a crepe place that only had sweet crepe and pizza. Opted for the pizza as I didnt like having a sweet dinner. Late at night, I went down in front of the illuminated old bridge and just absorbed it. It tucks my heart. Last night at Mostar, simply didnt want to leave.
