Our first visit for the day was to the Children's War Museum which showcased 50 items that children had kept from that period, including basic things like chocolate wrappers. There was a video of people now in their 30's telling their stories of what it was like living through such a long siege.
We then caught the newly reopened cable car up to one of the nearby mountains, from here you can walk down to the bobsled run that was built for the 1984 Winter Olympics. It was interesting walking around the curves of the now graffiti plastered concrete run, especially with its history of being used by the snipers during the war.
Sarajevo is a good example of Muslims, Catholics and Orthodox Christians living harmoniously together. Mostar however is a small city divided in half, neither the Bosnians or the Serbs are ready to forget and forgive yet so even the schools have staggered shifts so they don't have to mix with each other.
