We had booked a trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina, our first stop was  Medugorge, which is the third largest religious worship in the world. The tour was booked via Viator this was fulfilled by a company called Super Tours. Our driver Ivan picked us up at 7.15 am and after collecting the rest of the group (no more than nine people). We were off to Bosnia. We drove along the coastal route and I will be posting about this soon. We stopped off a gas station after crossing the border into Neum, Bosnia’s only coastal town.
