They famous bridge. Actually the Stari Most or Old Bridge, hence the name, Mostar. Bombed and destroyed during the Balkan War. It has been rebuilt using the original plan, I think.

View from the garden in front of our hotel. There are a lot of mosques here. The Ottomans invaded in a narrow strip, a mountain pass, that lead them straight through Bosnia. Many of the people converted to Islam, because if they did, they didn't have to pay taxes. Possibly the first evidence of the Reagan Revolution.

Our guide, Edo, was 8 years old when the Croatian army moved into Stolac. They were given 5 minutes to leave. They had to walk to Mostar with whatever they could carry. Edo's sister was 5 and she thought it was just the most fun ever! Not so much for Edo.

After the visit to the stones and a walk through town we ended up here for lunch. I know this isn't a great picture, but I wanted to give them a shout out.

Another shot. I told Edo if they could somehow turn this into a B&B it would make a fortune. He said when he was a boy they used to go play around here. So jealous.

We saw a lot of this type of design and Edo said the long panels with a circle on the top represent how many children this person had. And when I say person, we are assuming it's a man.

The Riva, this is the promenade where you sit and buy a coffee, pretend to drink it for an hour and watch all of the people go by. It's really a learned skill and we only lasted about a half an hour.

You will see a number of Roman guards around who will happily pose for pictures for a few euros. There happened to be some young men with a soccer ball who were playing with the guards. If you look closely at the guard on the left you can see a soccer ball!

Another section of the basement. If you are of my generation, this is where the kids would have been sent when the adults were playing cards and drinking beer.

This is underneath Diocletians Palace. It was originally used for storage. Once the Romans were vanquished, other people moved into the Palace and used this for a dump. So it contained a lot of archeological information...and apparently a lot of poop.

Entry to Cathedral of St. Domnius. Originally Diocetian's Mausoleum but converted to the Cathedral when the Christians took over. Diocletian had killed Bishop Domnius, so who's laughing now...no one, they're all dead

Almost the same view of Veliki Slap but cropped so you can see the line of people heading to the bottom of the falls. The trails are fairly narrow and there are lines of people paying no attention to anything but themselves, stopping in the middle, holding everyone up. Endless selfies, the love couples who can't go single file because it will destroy their young love. Tina said it was alright to elbow people, in fact it might even be a life learning experience for them.

Ok this is the Money shot. The Big Waterfall, Veliki Slap.In the middle of the picture, you can see all of the people in line to get down to the bottom of the falls, which I did. But the best view, IMHO, is up on the trail. Unfortunately this is also the first place most of the tourists stop after coming into Entrance 1.

After you get through the Upper Lakes you get to take a nice boat ride to the Lower Lakes.

So, here's a map of the park. Entrance 1 at the right is where most of the tours start and the groups are dropped off. We grabbed the tram at Entrance 2 and took it up to the top at ST-3. Top Left. So when we started there weren't that many people.
