DAY 55 – SARAJEVO
Most of day spent on a train to Sarajevo. No restaurant car so by the time we arrived we could have eaten the crotch out of a low flying duck from fifty paces.
Started the Pulitzer Prize winning ‘The Hours’ by Michael Cunningham but had to put it down after 30 pages because it was unreadable shite.
Ordered a fabulous meal of ‘low flying duck crotch for two’ which was marred only by the fact that we had failed to get any local money out. Had to sit there like a naughty child while Runty rushed out to find a cashpoint.
Had our first real Turkish coffee on tour. Caffeine heaven. Sarajevo’s old town and tourist centre is the Turkish Quarter. Centuries of trading and invasions and have given this part of the world an interesting combination of European and Middle Eastern cultures and architecture.
