Spectacular sights, wonderful people and beautiful weather were the highlights of a trip to the pilgrimage town in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The statue of Our Lady outside St James Church in Medjugorje
We have just crossed the border from Croatia into Bosnia and Herzegovina. There seems to be beautiful countryside everywhere and as we move closer to our destination, rugged mountains appear — which is quite appropriate as the translation of Medjugorje is ‘between mountains’.
I’m not typically one who enjoys being a passenger in a car (control freak, I know), but the two-hour journey from Dubrovnik to Medjugorje is a pleasant one, with beautiful scenery and helpful advice from our driver, Kristian.
