Our trip from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik had two legs: a train ride from Sarajevo to Mostar and a bus ride from Mostar to Dubrovnik. We had enough time in Mostar to grab lunch and a quick look around town. As is true in many cities, the Mostar bus station was in a seedy area of town leaving the impression that Dubrovnick may not be the most promising place for a walking tour. However, my guide book claimed that one of the most beautiful bridges in all of Europe (no small claim) could be found in the city center. Time was short but I knew I had to check it out. Sure enough, the sketchy alleyways gave way to charming pedestrian streets and the bridge was really quite lovely. BONUS: There were guys jumping off the bridge for money. In the bottom picture, the guy in the speedo perched on the edge of the bridge is moments away from plunging into the depths below.
