Well good morning good morning.
It is another very early start to the day today.
We are leaving Hvar Island and traveling all the way to Mostar.
Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Still waking up here.
Gosh!
I know what you mean.
What time is it?
And we had a bit of an emergency this morning in terms of time because what happened was
our clocks there was a time change in Canada but the time change occured here earlier.
A week ago and then it occured in Canada so our clocks were set back.
They changed.
Yeah, so oh my gosh woke up we woke up thinking we had lots of time and actually we didn't.
Yeah, we were running an hour behind.
Anyways, we're going to give you guys an apartment tour before we run out of here to go catch
our ferry.
Sam is going to do the tour.
I'll be behind the camera.
Let's get started.
Alright guys, so the place we stayed in here was fabulous.
It was huge.
Like really big apartment so let's take a quick look.
So first thing is first is the bathroom.
First thing is the bathroom.
The bathroom was really cool.
Nice big shower.
Nice my flip flops are still there.
Oh my gosh.
I need to pick those up.
You see that is what I'm talking about.
Oh my gosh today we're not on the ball.
We're not.
So come on in here.
Um, we had a really nice kitchen.
We were cooking a lot.
We made pasta here every single day we were either making spaghetti or polenta with tomato
sauce and veggies.
Mmmhmm.
It was really good.
Let's continue we have to make this a very speedy tour.
That is true.
Dining area.
TV.
Bookshelf.
This couch was awesome.
We utilized that a lot for just chilling and watching Netflix or here was our work table.
Yeah.
And if you come outside I'll show you the views.
It has been pouring rain like this morning it was so bad we were wondering if our ferry
was even going to go.
Well it was actually storming this morning.
It looks so much better now.
It was super windy and yeah there was thunder and lightning.
I was like oh my gosh Audrey I don't think we're going to get out of here.
That is kind of like the ultimate travel nightmare being stuck on an island is wondering if you
can actually get off the island.
But anyways I think we will.
Um, although it is calling for quite a bit more rain.
Um, this is the bedroom.
It was comfortable and yeah because this was off-season we only paid $25 US dollars a night
for this guys.
Yeah, and normally we use airbnb but we found this was on booking dot com and yeah it was
just a great deal.
And now we're going to get ready to leave because any minute now we're going to be getting
picked up.
(waves and rain sound)
So our ferry is here and it is massive.
It is a behemoth in comparison to the one that we took coming to the island.
This one is called Lastovo.
Lastovo.
I mean it is by Jadrolinija the same company.
So yeah, yeah.
How many stories is that?
I don't know.
It looks like a cruise ship almost.
It is huge I'm glad they brought the big ship yes for the storm we're going to need it.
The waves are fierce this morning.
(Wind Sounds)
Okie dokie.
We are here.
We are back in Split.
That was a really bumpy ferry ride.
Oh yeah.
I was feeling nauseous.
A kid puked.
Haha.
Twice.
Right in front of you.
Right in front of me.
Kind of gross but anyways we have to go catch our bus now.
Tickets in hand.
We're going to Mostar.
We sure are.
Let's go find our bus and the terminal.
Yes.
(Rain and wind sounds)
We've got pizza slices and cheese burek and you've got one over here.
Yummy?
We're lucky we had a little bit of change left.
I didn't know if we could actually get we spent the last of our Kuna here.
We literally like spent it all just now.
So we get two pizza slices and a burek.
Also our bus door is open so maybe we can go get on.
Yep.
Tres Miserable.
Actually yeah the weather the weather is awful.
Oh my gosh.
We are soaking wet.
It has been pouring like it is coming down like a curtain like a sheet of water.
How would you describe it?
Yeah.
It is just like raining sideways basically.
It is.
It is just yeah nice to get on the bus.
It is toasty in here.
It is dry the heat is on.
So we're planning to sleep for a few hours and before we know it we'll be in Mostar.
I sure hope so.
Alright.
Have a good nap.
(Rolling sounds)
Alright alright.
We have arrived at our airbnb yes.
Oh my gosh guys we owe you the biggest update.
So yeah, the bus trip went really well.
Um, the weather improved.
It started off awful as you remember.
Yes.
And then the rain started to slow down a bit.
It is not like it became like really nice outside but it just kind of got a little bit
better.
And yeah, we were going down the coast for a long while and then we kind of veered off
into the left and then the landscape completely changed.
It was more like lakes, rivers, mountains.
And yeah, the border crossing was an absolute cinch.
Super quick.
Everything has been super easy.
I was all border crossing were like the Balkans.
Yeah.
So far we handed over our passports to the bus driver uh he went and got them stamped.
Brought them back on and that was it.
The only other event that was noteworthy was that we had to change buses right at the last
minute.
Yeah.
And that was right near the end of the journey.
Yeah, the last leg to Mostar was on a different bus.
I feel like we should give a little shout out to our last two hosts.
Because the last one in Hvar he ended up driving us to the ferry terminal at like seven in
the morning which was super nice of him to get up.
Especially in the rain.
And then this guy right here in Mostar he came to meet us at the bus terminal.
Yes.
With his bike and like it was so funny we were told that a guy with a mustache on a
bike.
Mustache on a bicycle would meet us.
And I thought like oh my gosh that could be like any one of 10 men.
But no low and behold when we arrived at the bus station he was there.
Waiting for us.
A guy on a bike with a mustache.
Yeah.
And he was the only one we could see and so yeah we followed him all of the way here.
Yeah, our place looks cool.
We'll save the apartment tour for another time because we're hungry.
Yes.
So that is our priority at the moment.
Let's go find some food in the town.
Let's do it.
Alright.
So yeah we walked into town found a restaurant.
It is a Monday.
A rainy Monday night so it is super quiet.
Super chill.
I've ordered.
Let me tell you the name of this.
I feel like this is something I'm going to be eating quite a bit so it is probably a
good idea if I know what I'm talking about.
Ćevapi.
It is maybe ćevapčići.
Cevapi.
I'm not entirely sure but it is kind of like this pita.
And we got a little bit of beef.
This looks like chopped onions.
So it is looking good.
It is looking good.
I have a feeling I'm supposed to eat it with my hands.
Then we also got a mozzarella salad to go with that too.
We haven't been eating enough salad.
Haha.
Is it good?
Yeah.
It is juicy.
Fresh off of the grill.
Yum.
Try that salad too.
Salad.
Oh my gosh.
Haha.
I'm so hungry.
Look at you.
Look at me.
We are back from dinner.
We're back at our airbnb and you know what?
It is a Monday night and that means there is a new Star Trek episode on Netflix.
So I've got my cup of tea.
We've got some chocolate, laptop with Netflix all queued up and oh yeah we're totally geeking
out.
We sure are.
And we're tired so yeah it has been a long day of travels so we're just going to relax
and then go to bed.
So yeah, see you in the next video where we'll actually show you around Mostar and maybe
try some of the food.
Exactly.
Bye.
