Activities: We went to Stari Most! "From Stari Most we get a very beautiful view of Mostar…from both sides." We watched local people jump from the bridge into the water. "The men we see jump seem to be able to do it in their sleep, the locals have been doing this since time immemorial."

Highlights: It was so exciting to watch the divers jumping off the bridge! We really enjoyed the views from both sides. "Hole our family sat at the bridge and waited for something to tickle our stomachs." ✨
