Day 3 : Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

From Mostar, we took the 7.55am train (the other train is at 6.30-ish pm) to Sarajevo. The train is relatively comfortable and clean (cannot expect it to be as good as the London-Birmingham Virgin Trains or London-Paris Eurostar). 


The 2.5 hours train journey itself is to enjoy. But don't expect too much from it. A friend said that you should not sleep and enjoy the scenery but from my experience, you can't sleep because being an old train going trough tens of tunnel, it's not a quiet ride.

Arriving in Sarajevo, we were lost when trying to find our hostel. The description was to find a hospital but in sarajevo, there were 2 hospitals and was pointed by locals towards the wrong one.

Note : never be too confident. Ask the tourist center for a map and directions

We had to take the taxi from the wrong hospital. Since they do not have a meter, we were charged 5km (or €2.50). If it's the official rate, we say thanks to the taxi driver but if not, we are still glad to pay the price.

The accommodation details is

Property Name: Hostel Ami
Address: Gorusa 2a, Sarajevo, 71000, Bosnia-Herzegovina

There's not much to do here. We wanted to visit the Tunnel of Hope but we can't find any public transport to ho there. The only option is to join a €20 tour. Again, we decided not to join and just visit the old town where several other attraction is located (we are not cheap but on a budget).

We had a Bosnian lunch. It's different that what we are used to.


It might not be as interesting as Mostar but maybe that's just me since I rarely enjoy a city/capital (except for Rome, the best city i've visited so far). 

I don't have any video to recap our visit to Sarajevo, sorry guys. Day 4 is going to be a long day. Hopefully it's going to be worth it for Day 5~
