from croatia to serbia

So we have less than a month left of our travels. Very sad. ive posted some pics, first we have this wonderful lady we found on the island of barc, that made homemade wine out of her home. after croatia, sandie and i parted in mostar, hercegovina. Here there was a couple of battle. muslims and bosnians fighting the serbs and then the bosnians and the muslims had a war. this has left the city divided and all quite demolished. I then hopped on to sarejevo. the sarajevo rose is from bombs dropped killing several people. they have fill them in around the city with red paint. i hit montenegro, kotor for a couple of days. such a beautiful city. there were cats everywhere. I then headed to albania. i think the wiring of the city kind of reflects the country...unorganize and ugly. i did not really find the country that intresting...except for the crazy bunkers when i left.

"...small concrete domes enver hoxhas paranoid concrete legacy built to repel the threat of foreign invasion and can resist full tank assault.

Mr hoxha hired a chief engineer to design a super resistant bunker who then had to vouch for his creations strength by standing inside it while it was bombarded by a tank....the estimated number of these concrete look out posts is 700,000"
