Medjugorje – There’s No Better Spot To Buy Miniature Statues Of The Virgin Mary Attached To A Small Box Of Earth From The Hills Where Jesus’s Mother Was Spotted
Bosnia-Herzegovina has an image problem. Ravaged by civil war in the 1990s, the country is in significant need of a PR drive as most travellers still associate it with its bloody latest history. Whisper it, but its actually stuffed full of hidden gems and it has an unexplored feel welcomed by intrepid travellers. Couple a trip with a trip to Croatia and youll find none of the traveller hoards that swamp the Dalmatian coast.
Our introduction to the country provokes an, “Are you sure were in Bosnia?” reaction.
The Kravice Waterfall is an Eden-like wonder of multiple chutes gushing into a turquoise lagoon, where visitors can enjoy a refreshing swim in the searing heat of summer. The falls are encrusted with grass and moss, and are besieged by delicious green hemp, figs and poplar trees, more like a scene Id expect to see in Hawaii instead of war-scarred Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Medjugorje
We are making a transient stop at the town of Medjugorje, a pilgrimage site where Catholics arrive by the busload “and all because some kids playing in the close by hills claimed they saw an apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1981 ( a claim which has since then been confounded by the Vatican ).
Theres a statue of Jesus Christ with a continually weeping knee, which fervent religious folk caress and mop with tissues, seemingly to use to cure sick family. Medjugorje is also home to the tackiest collection of mementos in the world. Fact. There’s no better spot to buy miniature statues of the Virgin Mary attached to a miniscule box of earth from the hills where Jesus’s mother was spotted. You can find in Medjugorje some good Medjugorje hotel.
Mostar is the country’s main attraction, a photographers dream about charming cobbled streets and stone homes, carefully rebuilt to seem like its pre-war charm in a multi-million-pound nip n tuck.
The towns classic bridge graces the front covers of most Bosnia-Herzegovina manuals, its misty mountains providing the dramatic background. The first 500-year-old Old Bridge was wrecked in 1993 during the war, symbolising the downfall of the previous Yugoslavia, as it was thought of as a mark of unification between the east and west.
When the bridge was destroyed, the people of Mostar cried like they’d lost their families, local guide Amela tells us on a walking tour of the city’s Turkish-style old city.
Rebuilt and re-opened in 2004 using 1400 of the first stone bricks in order to hold onto its UNESCO world heritage status, the bridge is renowned for its buff Speedo-clad, oiled-up divers who jump 25m jump from it into the turquoise waters of the Neretva, a convention that started in the Sixties.
The custom is celebrated with a world diving competition on the last Sat. of each July. If you want making the plunge, be cautious “an Aussie guy died last year doing the jump. Though the water is 6m deep, there are robust currents that may make it dangerous if you are not a trained diver.
Blend a trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina with a trip to Croatia. Dont miss these gems.
Split : The historic city’s UNESCO classified treasure is the Diocletians Palace, built by the Roman emperor 2000 years ago as his assisted living center. When the Romans abandoned the site, the palace stood abandoned for centuries till refugees swarmed to the city in AD614 and started living in it. To this day, it remains home to bars, shops and flats, where hanging washing flutters above crumbling windowsills.
Dubrovnik : Dubrovniks stunning Old Town, well-preserved city walls and postcard-perfect harbour make it one of Croatias top visitor destinations. Unfortunately, this indicates that its flooded with tourists in the summertime months. Expect to pay extortionate London prices for food and drinks, as writes tagza.com.
