We had a long day cycling (and stopping a lot to catch willow branches to make a basket with andrea) till Trnovo...
passing a land mines zone (there are still thousands of land mines in bosnia)
Trnovo was one of the war lines, and lot of the town is visibly destroyed... we stayed in an abandoned hotel, that had been used as headquarter of NATO troops during the cease fire...
the hotel
The hotel was a really special place, really destroyed by gun shots, but incredibly clean (for a 14 years abandoned building)... full of paintings made by the french troops while they were staying there...
After dinner we had some visitor from a local NGO to talk with us about the problems of the city (after the war most of buildings were never rebuilt, unemployment is really high and people are still leaving the city...)Nils, from sweden, arrived in the afternoon with his tank-bike :p...
