Sarajevo, Mostar and meeting our travel buddies!

The ride to Sarajevo from Belgrade was crazy! It took 10 hours and we had to go North into Croatia to come back south into Bosnia and towards Sarajevo. Sarajevo was another amazing city full of deep history. We felt that the people there are even warmer than any of the other Balkan countries we had been to. When we arrived we didn't realize how far away the location was from where we were meeting our host. We had to take a taxi. We had already asked 2 locals what the price should be to the center, they said 5 marke. When we asked the taxi cab driver he said 15!!! I was pissed!!! We had no choice though and we had 15 mins to get there! We finally met our host and he introduced us to his roommate. What a wonderful couple of men to be with! They were so respectful! They are from Istanbul but are living in Sarajevo going to school at an English school. They spoke to us about many things and many differences between  the Turkish culture and Bosnian culture.

Of course we had more Čevapi and beer :)

We stayed there for 4 days and enjoyed the hell out of our time there! Our hosts cooked many typical Turkish meals and brought the kitchen table out into garden one night! It was a good time!
