πMostarπ
I arrived in Mostar.... The old part of the city seemed to me out of time....
Mostar, a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina...survived various wars...and I can tell you historical facts...
But no, Mostar for me is first of all an old friend... from stories and songs... I fell in love with this city....
I didn't think I'd ever see him live....it's too far from my place and no trips went there until recently....Or they did but I didn't ask.....
You know the years go by...quickly and you don't even have time to think of where to go....
When I bring back memories, only one song rings in my head...
"I will be gray, I will be old, my Mostar will be forever young..."
I don't know how many times I heard this song when I was much younger....we listened to songs by Dino Merlin....And this is Mostarska written in 1993...
Mostarska
"we go sadly down the river
down below now the wounds hurt less
my dream is still clear as day
I still call her with a song
don't ask sadness what it makes me
it's either love, or it's faith
one day all this will pass
Eminem's lips will remain warm
I will be gray, I will be old
but my bridge will be forever young
.. "
I will be gray, I will be old
but my mostar is forever young
how are you miso, how are you bro
are they still happy to visit you?
don't let the tears muddy the river
keep it clear and distant
how are you, are you breathing
another match is waiting for you
where is your emir, that old unrest
a green river is waiting for him too
I will be gray, I will be old
but I will love my Mostar too
I will be gray, I will be old
but my mostar is forever young...
The river is Nertva... It is icy... The attraction is that young men jump from the bridge into this icy water... They stand on the bridge and collect money from tourists who want to see them jump into the water....
I went down to the river, which I had to touch... π€ Brrrr... ice water... I like to put my feet in the water... wouldn't I here...
And from this place you can see the old town beautifully...
This bridge is the biggest attraction, and it's full of tourists.. I took a photo of the bridge from the side, to see that there is a path to go under the bridge..
π
I watched from the bridge as they gathered below and took pictures of the bridge..
I read that 2018 Dino Merlin held a concert in Mostar, under the bridge...
Maybe it's that plateau, next to the river... Where are they taking pictures of the bridge...

Bridge and I.....ππ
The city by the bridge, it's such a special atmosphere...
A bridge that connects shores, people...
I liked standing on that platform... I look at the bridge, the city around it... The sense of time is lost, and the past and the present merge together...
This part of the city is very interesting and has a special atmosphere...
A bridge that has been standing for centuries, which was demolished, but was rebuilt with effort... The symbol of Mostar...
Terraces that descend almost to rivers...
The view from the bridge towards the city, dominated by the towers of two mosques...
I was there for a short time, but the visit remained in my memory π₯°
Thank you very much for visiting my blog π
Have a nice evening β¨β¨β¨
