24 Hours to Vienna

Vienna

Mostar turned out to be spectacular at night. Four of us went out to dinner at a place overlooking the floodlit bridge and four courses was only ten euros each. We were pretty much the only Westerners in town who weren't soldiers but I'm sure all that'll change before long.

The infrastructure needs a bit of work though. The bus from Mostar to Zagreb made slow progress - at first due to the hourly breaks so the drivers and all the passengers except me could get off for a smoke, then things turned into a crawl around Bihac when the main road turned from what we'd call a B road in Britain into an unmarked dirt track. It wasn't a shortcut either - articulated lorries were gingerly picking their way down it, minefields on either side.

Eventually made it to Zagreb after ten hours, then jumped on a train to Munich, getting off at Salzburg to get one along here. A journey of just a shade under 24 hours all up but it seems like it's going to be a fine day so I'm off to take a look around the city.
