Thank you for bringing this spectacular place to us. I hope you go little further north into the heart of the Bosnia. Thank you.

What a spectacular scene....

Thank you for putting Mostar on your string of Europe's pearls. And thank God for helping Mostar to recuperate after so much destruction during that stupid war.

Thank you Rick for bringing a nice memory on my beautiful country.I hope you have more photos of adorable nature from Montenegro.
