Today was a fairly domestic day. We putzed around the apartment doing laundry and sorting things. I found the insurance office and bought a 1-month motorcycle liability insurance policy for around $12.00 US. That was my big outing for the day. I needed to go to a couple of different offices to find the right person. Luckily, the first office I went to had a person who spoke English and he called the other office to let her know I was coming and what I wanted. That helped a lot.
Downtown Bihac was nice, kind of a normal European town with offices, business and workers. They had blocked of a stretch reserving it for pedestrians so restaurants had outdoor seating, it was a nice open area.
I stopped in an "electronic" store, that sold mostly cell phone accessories, looking for a power converter for our electric items. I wanted to have an extra one. I had a nice chat in English with the young guy working there. He has been to Jacksonville several times to visit his uncle. He likes Florida but it sounds like he had a tough time with one of the local policemen. His uncle bailed him out and everything was fine. But he also told me the local police here are not to be messed with, which I had no intention of doing, but good to know.
It looks like a big storm is coming in starting Wednesday and lasting over a week. So, we chose to go to Sarajevo. We found an extremely inexpensive Airbnb apartment for a week and will be sitting out the storm there. We were in Sarajevo in 2019 and liked it but didn't stay very long so this will work out fine. We will be staying right downtown and will be able to walk to most things which beats riding a motorcycle in the rain.
A nice little stretch in downtown Bihac.
This is what a one-month motorcycle liability insurance policy for Bosnia and Herzegovina looks like. They call it Border Insurance.
