Had really got tour of the country side yesterday, first we started at Blagaj an old Otterman Monastery inhabited by the Dervishes (The twirling kind) set on the side of cliff where a river comes out of cave.

On our way Pocitelj an old fortress town with a long history of defending the country against invasion we stop off at Radimlja to look at some ancient burial tombs.

We then went to look at the Kravice Waterfalls (which in the summer is popular swimming location) and then to Medugorje where in the late 80's a group of child sited the Virgin Mary and is now a huge religious site for Christians.

This morning I am off to do a war tour around Mostar with the owners husband who fought in the war to get first hand knowledge of what happened to this town and the destruction that occurred. The bridge and the old town are actually only about 30 years old, but have been reconstructed exactly the same as they were before their destruction.
