Medjugorje - There Is No Better Spot To buy Small Statues Of The Virgin Mary Attached To A Tiny Box Of Earth From The Hills Where Jesus's Ma Was Spotted
Bosnia-Herzegovina has an image problem. Ravaged by civil war in the 1990s, the country is in significant need of a PR drive as most visitors still associate it with its bloody current history. Whisper it, but its essentially stuffed full of hidden gems and it has an undiscovered feel welcomed by intrepid visitors. Couple a trip with a trip to Croatia and you'll find not one of the tourist hoards that swamp the Dalmatian coast.
Our intro to the country incites an, "Are you sure were in Bosnia?" reaction.
The Kravice Waterfall is an Eden-like wonder of multiple chutes gushing into a turquoise lagoon, where visitors can enjoy a refreshing swim in the searing heat of summer. The falls are encrusted with grass and moss, and are encircled by delicious green hemp, figs and poplar trees, more similar to a scene Id expect to see in Hawaii rather than war-scarred Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Medjugorje
We are making a brief stop at the town of Medjugorje, a pilgrimage site where Catholics arrive by the busload "and all because some kids playing in the close by hills claimed they saw an apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1981 ( a claim which has since been rejected by the Vatican ).
Theres a statue of Jesus Christ with a constantly weeping knee, which fervent religious folk caress and mop with tissues, apparently to use to cure sick kin. Medjugorje is also home to the tackiest collection of mementos in the world. Fact. There's no better spot to buy small statues of the Virgin Mary attached to a small box of earth from the hills where Jesus's mother was spotted. You will find in Medjugorje some good Medjugorje pansion.
Mostar is the country's big attraction, a photographers dream about enthralling cobbled streets and stone houses, slowly reconstructed to look like its pre-war charm in a multi-million-pound nip n tuck.
The towns classic bridge graces the front covers of most Bosnia-Herzegovina manuals, its misty mountains providing the dramatic backdrop. The original 500-year-old Old Bridge was destroyed in 1993 during the war, symbolising the breakdown of the previous Yugoslavia, as it was regarded as a mark of unification between the east and west.
When the bridge was demolished, the people of Mostar cried like they had lost their families, local guide Amela tells us on a walking tour of the city's Turkish-style old city.
Reconstructed and re-opened in 2004 using 1400 of the original stone bricks so as to hold on to its UNESCO world heritage standing, the bridge is renowned for its buff Speedo-clad, oiled-up divers who jump 25m jump from it into the turquoise waters of the Neretva, a convention that commenced in the Sixties.
The practice is celebrated with a world diving competition on the last Sat. of every July. If you fancy making the plunge, be careful "an Aussie guy died last year doing the jump. Though the water is 6m deep, there are robust currents that may make it deadly if you are not a trained diver.
Combine a trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina with a trip to Croatia. Dont miss these gems.
Split : The important city's UNESCO classified treasure is the Diocletians Palace, built by the Roman emperor 2000 years ago as his assisted living home. When the Romans abandoned the site, the palace stood derelict for many years until refugees rushed to the town in AD614 and started living in it. To this day, it is still home to bars, shops and terraces, where hanging washing flutters above crumbling windowsills.
Dubrovnik : Dubrovniks stunning Old Town, well-preserved city walls and postcard-perfect harbour make it one of Croatias top visitor destinations. Sadly, this suggests that its flooded with visitors in the summertime months. Expect to pay extortionate London costs for food and drink, as writes tagza.com.
