In the morning we walked up to the top of Hum Hill overlooking Mostar. At the top of the hill is a giant cross constructed in 2000. It is controversial because from this same hill the "catholic" Croats shelled the Bosniak side of town during the war, and the Bosniaks see the cross as a reminder of that.
In the afternoon we wandered around town.
The walk up the hill took us through a Catholic graveyard
Part of the walk was along a secondary highway ... not so fun dodging traffic
View from the top
Having traditional Bosnian coffee
Ruined department store
Damaged apartment building with some units rebuilt
Damaged building with bottom floor occupied by a business
Plants growing inside a destroyed house
Murals around Mostar
Supper
I love this view
