Up after another decent sleep though curtains in the Balkans don’t appear to be a thing!

Head out to investigate what Sarajevo has to offer, including the Eternal Flame

Pass Gradska tržnica Markale (meat market) ,eyeing up the smoked beef, and Pijaca Markale food market (fresh fruit and veg)

On the notable street of Ferhadija, we grab a coffee at Dialog – only £2 of damage for two and some water but not the best service and terrible coffee

After, we head East and rain strikes – first time since Milan!

We dash into a tat market, Gazi Husrev-beg’s Bezistan which has loads of people buying brollies

Hunger gets the better of us and we cross to Brunch Sa – yummy coffee and food

Stroll around the clock tower and Baščaršija, a medieval Bazaar area with a central water monument, surrounded by narrow streets of souvenirs, restaurants and tat

Next on the agenda: find the Sarajevska žičara (mountain cable car) as it’s closed tomorrow!

We find it and it’s 20 bam for a return journey but well worth it!

We make it most of the way up Trebević and there’s a fort nearby – Draguljac – which we find is more now a bunch of rocks

There’s an abandoned bobsled track! We of course use it as a route to look around and head towards Bistrik tower

Eventually we make it – they don’t make it easy to find – and, of course, decide to climb it avoiding the holes that were in it from the war

Unfortunately, another stark reality reminder of the devastation and slow reconstruction still going on

Onwards and upwards… we see not 1, but 8 cool fire salamanders on the way back to the cable car station!

Cable car down all damp but fulfilled and straight to the Tesla pub for a pint with a banging playlist!

To BarSa Pizzeria for a couple of pizzas and hugos

Then back for a nightcap at Tesla pub
