Mostar was our next stop on the way to Sarajevo. We dropped off a friend who was riding with us and staying there, and then took a quick walk through the old part of the city, over the famous bridge and back. It would have been nice to have had a few hours in the city instead of just 45 minutes, but we got to see it and it was certainly worth the stop. On the bridge, there was a young guy in swimming trunks trying to get tourists to pay him to jump off the bridge into the river below! The bridge is quite high, so it would have been interesting to watch, but no one was willing to shell out the high price he was asking (us included).

After we left Mostar, the drive to Sarajevo through the mountains was breathtaking. Most of the time, the road followed a bright turquoise-colored river, with the mountains soaring above us. It was one of the more beautiful things I have seen so far on this trip, but unfortunately I couldn’t get a good photo of it.
