6:45 pm. We landed in Sarajevo around 5pm after leaving Belgrade 10am. It was less than 200 miles but most was 2 laned roads through small towns, twisty roads, about 4,000 feet in elevation change and a border crossing from Serbia to Bosnia Herzegovina. Once again, the border crossing went very well. We had a short line of cars but all we had to do was show our passports at both crossings, we didn't even take off our helmets and they didn't ask to see the motorcycle papers.
A nice ride of around 200 miles, one border crossing, 2 lane roads, small towns, stinky diesel cars, and sheep, cows and horses in the road.
We had a great lunch just inside the BH border at a local restaurant. We had fresh trout, Bosnian Salad, tomatoes, veal soup and fresh bread for $12.00 US. We have a new language, Bosnia, and a.new currency, the Bosnian mark which is about 2 to the dollar.
We saw our first bullet holes in buildings coming into Sarajevo leftover from the war in 1991-1995. We expect to see more when we walk around the city tomorrow.
I just started hearing a Muslim minaret singing at sundown, kind of haunting as it drifts in and out of the breeze.
What an adventure you are having - keep well!
