First stop, the medieval Fortress of Klis, situated above a village bearing the same name. From its origins as a small stronghold built by the Illyrian tribe, becoming a royal castle that was the seat of many Croatian kings, to its final development as a large fortress during the Ottoman wars – Klis Fortress has guarded the frontier, being lost and reconquered several times throughout its more than 2,000 yr old history.

Had a fair wait at the Croatia/Bosnia-Herzegovina border at both the Customs and Police booths….hundreds of cars lined up and only one booth operating. Arggh!

Next to Kravica Waterfall, in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Its a large tufa cascade on the Trebizat River, about 28 metres high with a 120 metre radius lake. Unlike Plitvice, swimming is encouraged! And the water never heats up to more than 20 degrees, so super refreshing on a day like today of 35 degrees!!

Drove past Medugorje village and didn’t stop…its been an unofficial place of Catholic pilgrimage since the Virgin Mary allegedly appeared on Apparition Hill in 1981. Reminded me too much of Lourdes. Ask me about that story one day!!

Arrived in Mostar and I’m staying in the Old Town area again, just a hop, skip from the Mostar Bridge. More about that tomorrow.
