Medugorje - There's No Better Spot To buy Small Statues Of The Virgin Mary Attached To A Tiny Box Of Earth From The Hills Where Jesus's Mum Was Spotted

Bosnia-Herzegovina has an image problem. Ravaged by civil war in the 1990s, the country is in serious need of a PR drive as most visitors still associate it with its bloody current history. Whisper it, but its actually chock-full of hidden gems and it has an undiscovered feel welcomed by intrepid visitors. Couple a trip with a visit to Croatia and you'll discover none of the traveller hoards that swamp the Dalmatian coast.

Our intro to the country provokes an, "Are you sure were in Bosnia?" reaction.

The Kravice Waterfall is an Eden-like wonder of multiple chutes gushing into a turquoise lagoon, where visitors can enjoy a refreshing swim in the searing heat of summer. The falls are encrusted with grass and moss, and are surrounded by delightful green hemp, figs and poplar trees, more akin to a scene Id expect to see in Hawaii instead of war-scarred Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Medjugorje

We are making a transient stop at the village of Medjugorje, a pilgrimage site where Catholics arrive by the busload "and all because some youngsters playing in the nearby hills claimed they saw an apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1981 ( a claim which has since then been confounded by the Vatican ).

Theres a statue of Jesus Christ with a continually weeping knee, which fervent spiritual folk caress and mop with tissues, apparently to use to cure sick kin. Medjugorje is also home to the tackiest collection of mementos in the world. Fact. There's no better spot to buy miniature statues of the Virgin Mary attached to a small box of earth from the hills where Jesus's mother was spotted. You can find in Medjugorje some good Medjugorje hotel.

Mostar is the country's main attraction, a photographers dream about charming cobbled streets and stone houses, carefully rebuilt to seem like its pre-war charm in a multi-million-pound nip n tuck.

The towns classic bridge graces the front covers of most Bosnia-Herzegovina guidebooks, its misty mountains providing the dramatic background. The original 500-year-old Old Bridge was demolished in 1993 during the war, symbolising the downfall of the previous Yugoslavia, as it was regarded as a mark of unification between the west and east.

When the bridge was destroyed, the people of Mostar cried like they had lost their families, local guide Amela tells us on a walking tour of the city's Turkish-style old town.

Reconstructed and re-opened in 2004 using 1400 of the original stone bricks so as to hold onto its UNESCO world heritage standing, the bridge is feted for its buff Speedo-clad, oiled-up divers who jump 25m jump from it into the turquoise waters of the Neretva, a convention that commenced in the Sixties.

The practice is celebrated with a global diving competition on the last Sat. of each July. If you fancy making the plunge, exercise caution "an Aussie guy died last year doing the jump. Although the water is 6m deep, there are powerful currents that can make it deadly if youre not a trained diver.

Blend a visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina with a visit to Croatia. Dont miss these gems.

Split : The important city's UNESCO classified treasure is the Diocletians Palace, built by the roman emperor two thousand years ago as his assisted living center. When the Romans deserted the site, the palace stood derelict for centuries until refugees rushed to the city in AD614 and started living in it. To this day, it is still home to bars, shops and terraces, where hanging washing flutters above crumbling windowsills.

Dubrovnik : Dubrovniks stunning Old Town, well-preserved town walls and postcard-perfect harbor make it one of Croatias top visitor destinations. Unfortunately, this indicates that its flooded with travellers in the summertime months. Expect to pay extortionate London prices for food and drink, as writes tagza.com.
