MONTENEGRO, BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA

Written October 2012
A nicely varied trip. Some lovely country side with a few moderate walks, many historical sights, both ancient and relating to the more recent conflicts. A great deal of restoration certainly, but of a very acceptable quality. A good balance of touring and free time.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
I was trying to get a better understanding of the recent troubles, so found Sarejevo and Mostar very interesting as well as quite exquisitly beautiful.
What did you think of your group leader?
Anaid was terrific, but this was his last trip as he is leaving Exodus for pastures new. Hope you get someone as competent and friendly.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
You really have very little time in Croatia - just one evening in Dubrovnik. One of our group was far-sighted enough to book a few extra nights there independantly and I wish I'd done the same. We had a couple with us who had spent some time there and thought it wonderful. If you have the time I would strongly recommend doing the same.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
You stay at most hotels for two nights (three in Sarejevo) making it very easy to get laundry done. All the hotels have free wifi. Plugs are 2 round pin type. The hotel in Sarejevo is particularly luxurious with a free mini bar of soft drinks - it's owned by Muslims so there's no alcohol, but is readily available in most restaurants. Food, generally, is OK but a bit samey. Vegetarians will have a bit of a struggle. We couldn't understand why Exodus advised us to take warm clothes - even in the mountains in September it was warm enough for shirtsleeves. Our group was the maximum size (18) and our vehicle was not the most comfortable. We had to use every seat and some had very little legroom.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
There were many; the one that has stuck with me most was hearing how the siege of Sarajevo effected our guides and their families personally.

Knowledgeable, warm and friendly. Anaid in particular deserves a special mention.

It's a fascinating part of Europe that is well worth a visit.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
The Sarajevo tunnel museum was very moving, the visit to the remote village of Lukomir was really interesting, and the views and landscapes were truly beautiful.
What did you think of your group leader?
Anaid and Damir were great, very approachable and friendly with great knowledge of the cultures and places we were visiting.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
There is a lot packed in to the trip, but make sure you use the free time to go for a wander, or a swim. Make the most of all the places you visit and try the local specialities!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Bosnia and Montenegro have so much to offer but aren't well known to most of us. I love discovering new places and cultures and this didn't disappoint!

I feel the trip has given me a small insight into the political, cultural and social lives of the people of Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, despite having a beautiful landscape, great weather, good food, a calm people I wonder whether the political stability which is there now will endure.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Both home trips to farmsteads were very inspirational. The trip to Lukomir was something special to me (despite stuggling with the altitude!) Sarajevo felt like home only after a couple of days and I was sorry to go.
What did you think of your group leader?
At first I thought, oh dear, he is young but he proved himself with an easy-going manner, a comprehensive knowledge of all things historical and political, a very good sense of humour and good organizational abilities. It was great to sit in the bus and hear him chat and joke with the driver on our long days driving.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
A rain jacket isn´t really required in July even though it´s in the notes!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
There isn´t much walking, but good shoes are required. It is hot in July and so be prepared with sun cream and a wide-brimmed hat.Some days are long days in the bus but the landscape is varied and the roads are in the main very good.

Excellent trip highly recommend. Some walking but not to difficult. Very caring guide who is kind hearted and makes sure the whole group is happy. Beautiful country side. Some hotels could be better, but there are still scars of the war so some buildings need TLC Food is excellent although Dubrovnik is quite expensive and very touristic. Highly recommend trip
