ReplyDeleteDivno je zaista! Nisam nažalost imala priliku da ga vidim, ali mi je sam Mostar kao iz bajke, a Neretva fascinantne boje! Cela Bosna je tako magična i toliko toga nudi, da bih joj se uvek vratila :*
ReplyDeleteIstina, Neretva ima neke predivne boje, nekad je zelena, nekad plava, prava čarolija.
