5. Bosnia and Herzegovina

Sarajevo – May 2013:

Sunrise at Heathrow
Gloomy Munich Airport
My hotel in Sarajevo
Curious mix of old & new: east & west – the Olympic mountains make a lovely backdrop
The National Library undergoing renovation – it reopened in May 2014
The Orthodox Cathedral
Downtown Sarajevo

The Miljacka River:

The mighty roaring Miljacka – it flooded in May 2014
This is where it all started – isn’t it Gavrilo Princip? Bet you had no idea what you’d unleashed…
Gavrilo’s last stand – ok – Gavrilo’s only stand

The Sarajevska Pivara:

Every city should have a pivara – ideally one like this with a clock tower showing it is always pivo o’clock
The brewery – where it is always pivo o’clock…
Sarajevo’s fine pivo
Inside the brewery bar
Even the toilets are fancy
Reminder of the Balkan war
Eternal flame memorial to those killed during WW2
Astonishingly weird building
A shopping centre – not a church
Waiting at Sarajevo International Airport for the flight home
