A wonderful weeks hiking in the most beautiful surroundings. Sarajevo was an interesting base for some of the walks and the time spent in Mostar was lovely …despite the heavy rain!! It was a pleasure to meet all the other group members, good conversation and fun the whole week. Two of the accommmodation could be described as interesting (run down and dated) ….however, some of the other hotels exceeded expectations and were really of a very good standard.
