My wife and I arranged a private day trip away from our group in Croatia in order to visit Mostar in Bosnia. I was interested in visiting Mostar, because it was in the region where my father’s brother, an American fighter pilot, was shot down and killed in 1944. We were driven to and from Mostar by guide Miho Budman who was extremely informative about Croatia as well as Bosnia and was a pleasure to be with. While in Mostar we spent an hour or so with a local guide, Mirna, who had some knowledge of the events of WW2 in the area. Mostar would have been fascinating for us even if we had not had our special family interest. Our entire trip in Croatia and Bosnia was expertly coordinated by Jen Radman of TrulyCroatia.
