Via Mostar to Korcula

Mostar is a nice place to stay for a day or to, we prefered a day. During this time we saw the old town which had a pitoresque bridge. The old town was many centuries old, it has also a Mosk that belonged to the Turkish Pasha and we also got the chance to climb up the minaret. The stairs were narrow but the sight was very pretty.

This morning we departured to Korcula, Croatia. The train took us near Plocé port. We had to take ferry to Trapanji, taxi to Orebic and finaly a small boat to Korcula. Here are alot of tourists, you can see it from the plates of the cars, germans, italians, polish... etc. We didnt have any accomondation booked so we counted on some offers at our arrival to Korcula. We found a private room nearby (20 min walk) for about 25euros/night, half the price of a hostel. We decided to stay two nights, this is as much as our schedule can do.

The famous Stari Most bridge during night.

A beautiful old building that had been destroyed by bombs during the latest war.

We later heard that Mostar is acctually divided into two halves, one croatian and one Bosnian muslim part. By our understanding these two don´t get along so good when there is local football matches between these two parts of city...
