Day 109 - Last day in Mostar, Bosnia

Friday, October 19, 2018.

Today we decided to hang around in Mostar. We kind of wanted to go Blagaj but we liked Mostar so much that we voted to stay home and relax in town. In the morning Sunshine finished and turned in her second month's homework. The kids hung around the apartment while Gregory and I toured the town. We went out for lunch to a traditional restaurant. No one was as happy as yesterday when we went back for crepes (they translate palacniki to "pancakes" here) for dinner. I had a nice meal of rice and beef!

This was a shopping mall that was destroyed during the war and hasn't been fixed or torn down.
Good thing the menu had the translation in English.

Mosque across from our hotel. We could hear their calls to prayer during the day and night. There were not as loud and long as there were in Morrocco.
We went our for lunch to a traditional Bosnian restaurant. How did we choose it? just by observing that many locals ate there, always a sign of decent prices and good food!

Same price for a huge beer and a small Diet Coke -- not fair! It cost $1.80 for a half liter in a restaurant.

Of course, Daniel ordered some kind of pastry with cheese. I don't remember the name.

I was very happy with cevap (beef) with rice. Although in the menu it said beef with potatoes and vegetables. Gregory also ordered something and they brought him something else. He joked that it was a communist restaurant where you order something and they bring you what they got!

Our waiter who didn't speak English at all.

The old bridge




We went back to the same restaurant for Nutella crepes for dinner!

Cute returant above another bridge.

We will come back to Mostar, that's how much we liked it and the prices too!

What I Learned from This Trip

What have I learned from traveling for a year? The last homework assignment for my kids was an essay about what they learned about our trip around the world. I told them that Gregory and I had to do it as well. Here I am, in front of my laptop and not knowing what to start with. I know it will be me who has changed and not the people or the places around me. I know this by experience because I have been away before and I know that the biggest changes happen inside you, in the way you see things, your perspective changes and I believe that’s where the growing happens. Right now, we might not be able to see it because it is too soon, but once we go back to our routines and our daily old lives, we will see, feel and live the change. I’m happy to say that one of my biggest dreams was to travel around the world. I always wrote in my journal that I wanted to visit more countries or just travel more with my family, but I always wrote them as a wish, a dream and I never really worked to make ...

Day 309 - Lunch with Gregory’s friend Axel - River Bus - Golden Mount Temple

Sunday, May 12, 2019. After last night's adventure, we told the kids they could sleep in today. Around noon, Gregory and I went to meet Axel, an old German friend of Gregory's. We had a delicious lunch at Coffee Beans by Dao. We had a lovely time chatting until 3:00pm when the waiter told us that they wanted to close the restaurant. Axel drove us back to our hotel and we promised to get together next time with his wife and daughter, who is two years older than Sunshine. The kids had a wonderful time resting in the room and went out for lunch on their own. They are so aware of their expenses, they told us that a bottle of water cost 60 THB at the restaurant, and in the market, it cost 10! So Daniel went to the 7/Eleven and bought a bottle there. I guess they have learned to live on a budget since that’s what we have been doing. The kids wanted to stay in the room but we decided to take the boat ride to see some of the city. They still whined and complained but we made them do i...
