Not an auspicious (early) start from the flat
in Mostar - a flat tyre on the hire car!.
However, I had a good drive (about 2 hours) up to Sarajevo...stopping at
about 9 am at a bar on the banks of the Neretva River in Konjic; I had a
coffee, but all around me were drinking rakya for Sunday breakfast, so I
had to join in with one myself!
I parked at a street-side meter and walked into the old centre (where
the trams are operating) and found a restaurant just on the edge of the
tourist streets.
...delicious meal, by the way, including Bijana's recommendation,
Ćevapi...

I then visited the
Old Orthodox church, and sat under the cloisters
to upload my pictures, and walked through the steep residential streets
above the tourist area, back to the car.
I thought I would take a different route back to Mostar - Sarajevo is
close to higher country (the Winter Olympics was held here one year) so
I asked Google Maps to chart me an alternative. It was a nice
drive up onto an alpine plateau, with cows wandering across the road,
which progressively deteriorated...
...this bridge didn't inspire confidence, but soon afterwards I came
across a new "
Romani
Church", which suggested I wasn't too far from the beaten track.
However, a mile or so further on, the tarmac stopped, the dirt road
narrowed to a single track that wound down the side of the mountain:
there were other vehicles...mostly slightly battered looking 4x4's...and
I didn't fancy meeting any of them on the narrow and precipitous track,
so I, reluctantly turned round, and ended up going back to Sarajevo, and
back to Mostar the way I had come.
