So...I know I haven't written in a few days, but I've been up to quite a lot, so hopefully I can get caught up soon.
On Saturday, Beth and I got up very early to catch the 8am bus to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After 3 1/2 hours on the bus we arrived. The area around the bus station was a little run down, but after about 10 minutes of walking we were in a friendlier area of town. We had lunch at a little "fast food" place. I use parentheses because you still sit down and order your food and eat it like at any other restaurant, it just means they get it to you quicker, I guess. We had the Bosnian equivalent of gyros and they were pretty tasty!
After lunch we wandered toward the Old Town area of Mostar. It was really beautiful. There were a lot of mosques and we also went in the Turkish bathhouse called Biscevica corner. It was pretty neat checking out all of the architecture in the city. The Old Town mostly consists of The Old Bazar, a shopping area leading to The Old Bridge. We did quite a bit of shopping while we were there because everything was so cheap! We even found a store that took credit cards...that was trouble. ;) We also walked over The Old Bridge. It was very impressive. I don't think that my pictures will do it justice.
After a while in Mostar, we headed back to the bus station and took the bus for 4 1/2 hours to Split, Croatia. On our way, we stopped at a really scary bus station for about 25 minutes. We were planning to use the bathroom, but it looked liks something out of a scary movie (and didn't smell fantastic either) so I just took some pictures and we decided to hold it.
We arrived in Split around 9:30pm. It took us about a half hour to find our hostel. I wrote directions down, but some of the streets weren't marked, so we wandered in the wrong direction for a little while. After asking a few people for directions, we found it. It was a pretty nice set-up. A two bed room with a private bathroom (which smelled bad, but otherwise was fine). The beds were like cement, but neither of us cared. We changed clothes and got some food, then we went right to bed (by that time it was probably a little after midnight).
