Medjugorje

---

As we didn't find rooms in Mostar, we had to stay in Medjugorje for some meeting in Mostar. But it was OK because it is not too far from Mostar. Just 30 km. And it was the great experience for me to see the place where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in 1981, even if my religion doesn't recognize it. Millions of people, from all over the world, have visited Medjugorje and have left spiritually strengthened and renewed.
