Mostar Jump

The annual competition held in Mostar coincided with my visit luckily, and I got to witness the men of all ages taking a plunge into the Neretva river from the newly re-constructed Mostar Bridge.

At this event everyone who jumps is judged by a handfull of former jumpers and every year a winner is crowned.

Well I was very tempted to jump, til I heard how polluted the Neretva unfortunately is.
