Sarajevo
Sarajevo 2012. A week in Sarajevo this year was too little time, but on the other hand, we really enjoyed every moment to the fullest. We defied the heat and went out every day and every night. I didn't get many hours of sleep during the week, but many wonderful moments.
I ate like never before. It was almost like we were trying to compensate for the fact that we would only be there for a week and ate even more than usual. I'm telling you people, here you can die in a food coma. Cheap and delicious.
I've never had a boring night in Sloga. Our first night out was awesome, just as all other nights.
A visit to the restaurant Park Princeva is a must every year, the view of Sarajevo is absolutely wonderful.
So is a visit to small bars like Pirat. Crowded, sweaty, loud and awesome! But those words describe almost all places in Bosnia. The best thing would be if they put in spray showers everywhere, you get all wet anyway.
When it was too hot to walk around town we hung out in Ernas lovely garden where we had to spray us down with a water from the hose every five minutes in order to survive the heat.
We played a drinking game with the hardest rules we could come up with and showed no mercy. Note how the kings gathered at Erna, which means she had to drink glass after glass, haha.
While the guys went to a concert, we girls had a girls night out in Sloga. As if they knew about it, at one point they started playing real girl power songs like "I will survive" followed by some Severina. Perfect.
And this is how the days looked for the most part... Coffee or a drink in Vatra, hookah in Dibek, food, food and more food in Bascarsija. The usual, in other words. Everything that I'm now going to miss for a whole year.
We saw more tourists in Sarajevo than ever before. Here is a large group from some Asian country. Of course, with lots of colorful umbrellas as protection from the sun. A funny sight.
One of the few times we ate "non-Bosnian" food was in Vapiano, which just like McDonalds tastes exactly the same everywhere. The only difference is the price.
"We will take it easy tonight," we said and ordered one liter each. We love the colorful straws, that's why.
We went on Hari Mata Hari's concert in Dom mladih one night, which was kind of a fail, one can say. It was half empty and it went on only for one hour or two. But it was ok, it was Sunday anyway and we got to sing a little.
Dear BBI shopping center that provides us with air conditioning when we are about to die of heat stroke - and wifi. Speaking of which, I must point out that you can find free wifi almost everywhere. Watch and learn rest of Europe, damn moneysuckers.
For those of you who have not been in Sarajevo, it is one of the few cities where you can find Catholic and Orthodox churches, mosques and synagogues in the same place. Describes Bosnia & Herzegovina as it should have looked like...

And that was it from Sarajevo this year, before we went on to Croatia. I put all images in one post instead of splitting it up, I hope that your computers didn't crash and that you managed to look through it all!
