From Split we purchased tickets on a bus to Mostar. We climbed into a 15 passenger van that turned into a torture chamber. They closed up all the windows and sent a small trickle of air out the vents. It was soooo hot. We stopped every twenty minutes or so and took on new passengers. The driver left the side door open for a blessed few seconds as he took off and we rejoiced in the air that blew in. On the bright side, it was nice to clean out our pores due to the sweat bath. On the other hand, Seth threw up due to the heat and twisty roads. Thankfully, we grabbed a bag in the nick of time and we only had about 20 minutes left. Once we got there we searched for accommodations that included unlimited amounts of air conditioning. We took showers and cooled off then hit the town.
Mostar was right in the middle of major battles during the Bosnian/ Croatian war. Mostar means Old Bridge- which is the star of the town. Despite having a lot of bombed out buildings, which is interesting in and of itself, this is a charming town. We loved every second there.
