Visit to Sarajevo, Mostar, Adriatic coast, Zagreb (Oct. 2022), Part 2

Next, Nina took us to Trebevic (hill) where we went for a little walk in sunny and warm weather (the forecast said rain and cold, but we got nothing but sunshine during the entire trip!) I saw the old hotel with a paved circular path outside of it where I remembered riding bikes with my sister and parents as a little girl. Everything seemed smaller and the distances shorter from the American perspective. It took no time to get up there and back. And then we continued towards Nina's and my old neighborhood. We passed by my old street that looked unchanged and through that entire area, stopping briefly to take a picture in front of the elementary school. It bears a new name and a new external paint color, but everything else about it is the same. Then we continued towards Ilidza and Vrelo Bosne (spring of the river Bosna), another nearby getaway from the city where I sometimes biked on weekends. The horse drawn carriages still go back and forth down the alley of oak and chestnut trees between the thermal baths and the springs, and we didn't skip the treat. I remember how terrified I used to be of those horses!
