Mehso-so

The previous books I‘ve read by this author have been much lighter travelogues. This one covers her journey on bicycle through the countries of the former Yugoslavia, very soon after the conflict there.

I enjoyed the meetings with ordinary people from all sides of the divide, but the political parts of this book were numerous, complicated and dense so I left this book knowing not much more than I did before.

#weeklyforecast (so far) - haven‘t had much time to plan yet, so I‘m sure these two will be added to....

The left hand book covers all of the Balkans but I‘m using it for #montenegro. The right-hand one, which Im almost halfway through, covers 4 European micro-states but I‘m using it for #sanmarino as I have books for the other countries.

Isn‘t my library great?! 📚👍😁
