PHOTOS
ALRIGHT! PHOTOS! YAY! ... this is going to take forever... I don't expect anyone will read what I actually wrote since ADD can just kick in and you can look at pretty pictures with pretty shitty captions. Let's begin!
My last day in Bihać I ran into my skipper from the rafting trip the day before. I had time to kill before my bus to Sarajevo so he and his friend drove me to this area and I jumped off this smaller waterfall. Yay jumping off of shit into water!
Here is a random shot of the country side on my bus ride from Bihać to Sarajevo. YAY!
I was talking to Jackie online and she told me to take a picture, so I asked Zoey the girl from Vancouver that was sitting beside me to take one. This is the first one, it is hideous but I said I would post it anyways
There, aren't I beautiful!
Hey hey! A shot of Sarajevo. Look at all those graves, you need a lot of space to bury 11,000 people!
A shot from the same place only to the left. Look, there's more graves in the corner! HURRAY!
Yeah ok, I spent 5 nights in Sarajevo and you only get 2 pictures. I was having fun. This is a shot from the train ride from Sarajevo to Mostar. It was sunny on one side of the train and thundery on the other
Action shot!
I think this was the sun set, either way with the thunder and lightning it looked like some sort of Lord of the Rings view.
Random shot of a random street in Mostar!
Not the Stari Most! Instead it's a small bridge called the crooked bridge. I was sitting at a creek side cafe when I took this. Seriously, who wouldn't love drinking coffee or beer beside beauty like this.
Look closely, there I am jumping off of shit again! Hair going everywhere! The local to the side approves, though he was a much better jumper than I.
Look! The long talked about cave! A pretty shitty photo but you get the idea. I really really really liked this place and still think about going back.
From within the cave, I took like 60 shots of this because my camera and unsteady hand don't play together at all.
Alright! There's left to right, me, Zack, Drew and Ciaran. We were smoking shisha, but the hookah wasn't in top shape so it was hard to pull. I'm not as alcoholic as you think, my beer isn't empty! (Or maybe I was a round ahead, who knows)
The last image post had a bug, this one does too!
Random view from a cafe beside the river that the Stari Most crosses. I ordered what I thought was pasta and instead was a massive amount of really rich cheese. Very tasty but not really a breakfast. It was like trying to eat more than one piece of cheesecake, you think you can but after the first piece you're inexplicably full.
The day trip to the Monastary with 7 degree water coming from the cave. Probably one the nicest stops in my trip, especially since we were allowed to swim and the water was really refreshing in a freeze you sort of way.
Note: I didn't jump off of these.
This is the view looking away from the monastary, cafes serving up cheap tasty food and beers/coffee. A contrast compared to the beauty of the cave, but welcome since I was hungry.
It seems I don't have enough random shots of random streets, so here you are. Travelling with others has made me realise I really don't take enough of these, look how fantastic this road looks. (note, shots of random streets don't really look that good to me)
Actually to be fair Mostar had really nice streets in that they were worn smooth after so much time mixed with the material they were made from. Perfect for doing the moonwalk on, well not this part but other parts were. Doing the moonwalk or falling on your face from lack of grip.
STARI MOST! And if you'll note my fantastic photography skills up in the corner there is this big cross that they light up at night. Bosnia & Hercegovina confuses me because of things like this intermingled with the muslim prayer chants being broadcast from all the mosques over the day.
Old town Dubrovnik, like I said, aesthetically not a hole
Another shot from the wall surrounding Dubrovnik. You find walking the wall initally quite neat then half way around you start thinking: 'Great, the water is still there, the walls are still made of brick and jesus christ I'm way too hot.'
YAY! PS check out the pigeons near the bottom.
The wall's highest point!
A random view hole so you can shoot arrows at your own city I guess
Look at that water! Shame you're stuck on this stupid fucking wall 50 metres up away from it.
I sure bet you'd like to go for a swim.
I'd never straddled a cannon before and I thought it was a good time to practice my pin up posing.
A view from the highest point on the wall!
Please! Look at my groin! Actually, I climbed up this rock after swimming at long last, very satisfying.
Random church!
I want to note that this post is riddled with sarcasm, I didn't hate Dubrovnik THAT much but I really did want off the wall half way around. Only I wouldn't let myself go to Dubrovnik and not do the entire circuit.
Ah, back to simple time. An action shot of my foot at the beach on Vis with the bar behind it. It was good.
This is on Vis, it's the town of Komiša. As you come on the bus to the town you wind down the hillside getting closer and closer to the town. It was a really nice view from the top. On the left of the photo is the kastle I think it's called. Vis was about beaches not tourism though.
Split's ferry terminal, bus terminal and out of the shot to the left train station. All wonderfully close together.
This is a shot from the tower in Split, I was confused as to why there was a building with a massive hole in it so I took a photo.
Ok maybe it was a little cruel to take a photo but more than anything props to this guy. Seemingly he had no legs but instead a skateboard, and was taking photos like the best of tourists.
Just to make you dizzy and hopefully freak out mom since my foot is so close to the edge of the staircase inside the tower. Don't worry, there was a railing.
Inside the tower lookin' out.
The tower itself, some 60 metres high.
A shot of where I'd come from walking up the hill to get a nice view of Split in the sweltering heat.
Obligatory shot from the top
Obligatory shot from the top of city below
Don't worry, if you get a sun burn you can just jump into these guys and be right as rain.
This statue's face was very stern and the pinecone/pine background was nice.
Apparently if you rub this guy's big toy you will have good luck, you can see it's been rubbed clean.
His hand's freaked me out.
Right! That's it. really not very good at all in terms of information to go with the photos but jesus I've been here for 3 hours typing uploading and sweating I need to go do something else. CIAO!
