Bosnia and Herzegovina

Tuesday, 23rd June.

We are a little surprised to be in BiH today as we had absolutely no intention, or inclination, to come here! 
After leaving camp this morning, we called in at the nearby Lidl supermarket to replenish dwindling supplies and there met Mirielle and Mark who had returned from their 24 hour visit to Montenegro.  As we found their plans to travel into Bosnia to visit waterfalls, caves etc. very interesting, we decided to tag along, which happily for us they don't seem to mind.
In the supermarket carpark, we met another Australian couple, from Brisbane, chatted for a while and took photographs before going our separate ways.  

Stopping for a lunch break just before the Croatia/Bosnia border, Mirielle and Mark bought half a dozen fresh oysters from the oyster farms, paying about $A1 each for them, scoffed them and pronounced them delicious,

and we were on our way again, passing through the border into Bosnia and shortly after, back into Croatia.  Another 30kms further on and we were at a different border post, only this time our passports were checked before we were allowed into Bosnia.  Our first stop was at the Kravica Falls, very pretty, very popular and Mark and Mike felt compelled to fall into the water for a cooling swim.  

Unfortunately overnight parking is not permitted there so we headed for Medugorje and are spending tonight in a small, privately owned camp..Camp Dane..where for 10 euros we have power, showers and toilets and free wifi! 
After our evening meal, Mirielle and I went for a wander into town and discovered what appeared to be the 'Lourdes' of Bosnia...there were thousands of people attending a mass...it was amazing!

All is quiet now, more exploring to be done tomorrow after a good night's sleep.
