" We visited Dubrovnik  in Croatia in May of 2005. In the course of the trip we also had chance to go Mostar, in Bosnia Hercegovinia and Montenegro.    These are places steeped in a rich and colourful history, but sadly scarred by the troubles of the 1990's.   The Old City of Dubrovnik has been largely restored, as has indeed the 14th century Mostar Bridge.    This has been lovingly rebuilt to the original design and is a positive sign of recovery.    However we could not fail to be touched by the contrast further into the town of Mostar, where bombed out and bullet scarred buildings surround what was a children's playground, but is now a grave yard.    Montenegro, whilst much less visibly damaged by the troubles has some of the most dramatic landscape scenery and coastline to be found in the Balkans."
