pics….

at last, I have borrowed a half decent laptop while I rest my legs and let dinner go down out of the heat… I cycled out to Blagaj this morning, quite pretty little spot at the source of the Buna river … or at least the point where it emerges from the base of a huge limestone cliff. Judging by the stares of the local kids I do not think they see so many cyclists, at least not those of the skinny tyre twit flavour…… although in the Muslim house of course I had to cover up my legs with a loaned orange sarong… an interesting look….

Actually while I am on.. some local info… mainly because I have just finished stuffing my face with one… the local “fast food” is a thing called a čevapi… it is a chunky pita bread stuffed with rolls (sausages I guess..) of minced beef and lamb… fried and dripping with oil, which of course soaks into the bread, with some chopped onion and sometimes cheese as well… heavy for a hot climate but tastes great… Here on the street in Mostar around 2.50KM (Konvertible Marks) seems about average… I have been trying not to accumulate much in the way of KM since I am only in Bosnia for a few days. Croatian Kuna are accepted in a few places but Euro are pretty commonly accepted… but slightly annoyingly change is not always in Euro…
Tonight (Friday) is interesting… from my previous travels throughout the moslem world I associate Fridays in islamic areas with traditional reserve… and there are a lot of mosques in town yet the streets below the minarets are awash with alcohol and women… lol!
anyway, those pics…
