Balkans: May we meet again in a world where the smoke of war has cleared

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-03-01

The trip to the Balkans was originally planned for 2020, but it didn't happen for well-known reasons, but I didn't feel anything at that time, thinking that everything would pass and we would meet soon, but who knew that a delay would be three years later. Today, three years later, it has finally been released, and without hesitation, these countries planned for 2020 are directly regarded as the second stop to return to the world.

Migrant workers really don't have much choice in terms of time, even if they take the National Day, they can't take too long a vacation, they can't "catch all the countries in the Balkans", and they can't stay in one country for a few days in a daze. After struggling for a long time, combined with the degree of inner expectations and the convenience of transportation plus the convenience of visas, I finally screened out Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro four countries, as a fan of power travel, focusing on Croatia.

A beautiful city. However, it was not peaceful. It's time to calm it down. ]

Walter defends Sarajevo

Bosnia and Herzegovina Full name: Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The name is too long and awkward to remember.

Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the countries of the Balkan Peninsula, has always been known as the powder keg of Europe and the "Jerusalem" of Europe, Bosnia and Herzegovina is located between Serbia and Croatia, and is visa-free for Chinese passports.

After the plane arrived in Belgrade, I picked up the rental car next to the airport and drove all the way to Sarajevo, this part of the road is really a toss-up journey, most of the place is in the mountains, only a small part is highway.

Google's guide to the road is also indescribable, in the place that has almost arrived in Sarajevo directly led us to a small mountain road, probably to let us save time to take a shortcut, based on the full trust in the navigation we also followed, the result is more and more wrong, completely in the woods drilling, until the drive on a dirt slope full of small stones, resulting in a trap no matter how to start the dilemma, we had to call rescue in the nearest house, but the iron door is closed, it seems that no one, After calling for a long time to no avail, I could only continue to try to start the car, and in the end, I could only push under the car, and the driver started on it, and finally came out.

It seems that the occasional iron can also come in handy.。。。

I was supposed to arrive, but after being delayed for at least half an hour, I continued to drive all the way to the Sarajevo hotel before dark.

Sarajevo is a city in the valley, driving to find a hotel is a test of driving skills, up and down the slope of a lot, we have to drive on the slope, while paying attention to both sides of the road for fear of missing the hotel, on the other hand, but also beware of other vehicles rushing forward and backward, you can't be slow, someone will horn you with a horn.

In this way, after going through various challenges such as going the wrong way, trapping tires, carts, fog, etc., it is finally here...

The hotel is on the slopes, a short walk to the most lively old town of Charcia, Brazil. The iconic bell tower, the mosque fountain are all there.

The weather was not good that day, a little cloudy, very bleak, occasionally passing a few passers-by on the road, when it was almost dark, the dim street lamps illuminated the stone road, which was a kind of medieval taste of the ancient city.

If you walk down the road, you will come to the old town of Charcia, Brazil, which was built in the 16th century during the Ottoman Empire and still looks like it was 500 years ago.

The famous Sebilli Fountain, when we came, there was no fountain water, but often surrounded by countless pigeons, sometimes picking up food on the ground, sometimes hovering in the air, as long as someone feeds, Hula all flew over, the scene is very spectacular, and it is a little scared to see a child hahaha.

The Zadar hotel we chose (sort of a homestay) is in a super location, right out of the front facing the marina and across the bridge to the ancient city, which is by the sea at the other end.

The landlord added WeChat a day or two in advance and sent a detailed self-service check-in guide to us, and after arriving at the place, it was very smooth to check in according to the guide, looking at the inconspicuous exterior wall I felt cold, for fear that it was a "guest house" again, who knew that the room completely exceeded expectations, and even had a window to see the pier.

Drop off your bags and head out while it's still dawn.

Walk across the bridge to the ancient city.

With a history of more than 3,000 years, Zadar is also one of the lucky ones to sit on the Adriatic Sea, and historically Zadar is indeed an important port on the Adriatic Sea.

At the same time, Zadar is also the hometown of Modric. Located in a small city surrounded by the sea on three sides on the Adriatic Sea, it's hard not to be romantic.

On the way to the sea through Gucheng, the sunset sprinkled on any corner of the ancient city, and many people played musical instruments, and the sound of ** came and went.

Isn't everyone here able to art?

When I first landed in Belgrade ten days ago, it was a rainy day, the airport was a little dilapidated, and even many places were under repair, and the rental car office was originally in the airport, but it may have been temporarily changed to a simple shed not far from the airport because of maintenance. Pushing three trolley suitcases in the rain to find a rental location, it was very embarrassing that day.

There were a lot of people queuing up to apply for a rental car, and we just lined up in front of us to pick up the tour guide, and there were several people at once, so we waited for a long time....

But the Serbian brother who rented the car for us was very funny and humorous, the partner's credit card had a problem and could not be authorized, and then he could only use mine, the little brother said that this itself was not okay, but he made an exception and agreed to help us get it, the little brother repeatedly said that he helped us a lot, we thought he wanted a tip, but he said that he would like to hear us say thank you in Chinese
