Amanda Kendle Writes About Bosnia

Posted by Barbara Rogers Nov 20, 2006

One of the things I love about covering Southern Europe for Suite101 is "meeting" so many other enthusiastic travelers. My fellow writers for this Travel & Culture section are, like me, always on the road. Most of us, it seems, live between two continents, so we are constantly traveling in each other's territory. And when we do, we write articles for each other.

While I'm writing about an exciting "new" Mayan city near Tikal, in Guatemala for Portia Lino's Latin America and Caribbean Travel page and about skiing in New England for Fran Folsom's Northeast US Travel page, Amanda Kendle, who covers Eastern Europe & Russia Travel has written a great article for this page. She writes about the famous and symbolic bridge over the Neretva River in Mostar, a city not far from Dubrovnik, in the relatively new state of Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Those whose fourth grade geography book was written before the fall of the Iron Curtain, will remember these as part of Yugoslavia. That former country is now a series of independent states which include Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
