Snow in Sarajevo

SARAJEVO: Another day in the Jerusalem in Europe. We woke up to an uncomfortable sleet that, as we ascended towards the mountains that surround the city, turned into driving snow. It meant our Siege of Sarajevo Tour was cut short however we did visit the tunnel which the Bosnians used to transport fuel, weapons, people, medicines and supplies during the war. The tunnel is accompanied by a brief video and museum concerning aspects of the siege. Afterwards we visited a World War 2 memorial with stunning views of the city, albeit almost completely obscured by the snow. We also visited the Olympic bobsleigh sight which had been partly destroyed by Serbs and we were supposed to go and visit another site however the snow turned us back. This afternoon we wandered through the Turkish themed old town, did a bit of shopping, indulged in the dreadfully rich and creamy cakes that seem to be a speciality, supped Turkish coffee and relaxed. Tonight its off to dinner and then the brewery.
