Mostar Packing List Tips by mel_bee

Packing List

Luggage and bags: If you go by coach take a bag that you can also stick your feet on top of to stretch them on a long journey. Also one with plenty of space for souvenirs.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Decent shoes are important. When you are walking around some of paths are steep and especially the paths in the old town are made out of old stone which was a little bit slippery. (I still wore nice sandals but they weren't with ankle breaking heels).

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: When the wind gets up then you find that all the dust from the damaged buildings can get in your eyes. I have contact lenses and after wandering around for several hours I could hardly see anymore. Take something soothing to wash your eyes out with just in case. Failing that - camomile teabags soaked in lukewarm water and laid on your eyes come a close second. (If you don't need them you could always drink tea!)

Photo Equipment: Film for flash and not only sunlight. As you see my pictures turned out a bit dark but I got them on CD as well and with digital pictures you can always play around later!

Miscellaneous: If you are travelling by bus then I would recommend ear plugs (loud Bosnian music was played all night) and a cover for your eyes (lights were on all night too!)Umbrella if you know it will rain although a windproof one is advisable!
