Stari Most, the Old Bridge of Mostar in the Herzegovina region of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
***
Recently I came across some old photos that triggered a flood of memories about a trip I’d made to Dubrovnik years ago when, traveling from London with daughter Danielle and British writer and explorer Michael Alexander. We'd stopped in Trieste to visit Miramare, Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian's beloved castle, for an article Michael was working on.
The next morning, headed into Croatia on our way to Dubrovnik where friends would be waiting, we decided to stop in Mostar for lunch, which was on the way. As we sat at the first sunny cobbled café terrace we saw and were having a last espresso for the road, Michael said, "Barbara, where the devil is that bridge they're always talking about?”
It wasn't until we drove away and, from a distance, saw this view - Danielle exclaimed, "Look! The bridge!" - did we realize we'd been sitting on it the whole time. - BPJ
