Balkan Roadtrip Bosnia & Herzegovina: A Balmy Mostar Night

Image
A few years back I went on a Balkan road trip with my friend Bubbles. I blogged this trip, however, I didn't get to finish it so here I am back again, picking it up from where I left. From Amsterdam, we flew into Tuzla in the north of Bosnia. We spent the evening here and in the morning we drove to the capital,  Sarajevo . We stayed a good few days before taking the 2+ hours winding road to Mostar, the capital of Herzegovina. What makes this drive amazing is that the highway follows side by side the route of the beautiful Neretva River. We had amazing scenery throughout the journey. What a joy! Finally, in Mostar, we checked in at the  Kriva Cuprija Hotel & Bridge  followed by a delicious traditional lunch with a view of the river at  Restoran Lagero . This is the view from our hotel room: We had a little balcony. What a splendid view to watch the nightfall from here. 

Dresden: Prager Street Shopping, Tapas on Munzgasse, Bye Dresden!

Last day in Dresden. We fly early in the evening so we still have a whole day really, although we were looking at going to the airport by 16:00.  We had a lovely walk on the Bruhlsche Terrace and had a light very late breakfast at Visa a Vis. The atmosphere was very relaxed and nice. I like having a slow breakfast (brunch) with a view. Taking the time to enjoy the little things in life whilst travelling. We had a morning of sightseeing and shopping in the afternoon. In the Old Town, there is this adorable and lively alley filled with cafes and terraces called Munzgasse. It reminds me of a similar alley in Brussels, the Beenhouwersstraat (Rue des Bouchers). There is a staircase route connecting the Bruhlsche Terrace and Munzgasse. I just know this is where we will have our very late lunch.
