TDI07: A day trip into Bosnia

This day in 2007:

Famous Bridge at Mostar

This famous bridge in Mostar is a UNESCO world heritage site.  It didn’t always look like this.  It was destroyed in war.

"Dont forget" refers to the war that not only destroyed this bridge (now restored with the help of UNESCO) but also ripped apart Yugoslavia and the lives of many people.
As with all wars, so much could have been done to stop it ...

Outside the tourist area, the town is still showing the scars:

TDI06: Samaria Gorge, Crete

This day in 2006: Rickety Old Bridge over stream (2)

I went for a walk down the Samaria Gorge, a 16km walk with wonderful scenery. A one point the gorge is only a few metres wide but 100s of metres high. The shadow and bright sky played havoc with my camera but I did find this wonderful old rickety bridge that looks like it had been there for centuries!
