Part 2: DAY 2-4
SARAJEVO AFTER THE WAR
A walk in Sarajevo City with my dotter Alia,
friend Aina & her kids.
Sarajevo has a mild continental climate.
The average temperature in summer
is 19C (66F)and 13C (30F) in winter.
The average yearly temperature is 9C (26F)
When I arrived in Sarajevo in Mid March 2014 the weather was 16C however
it dropped to 2C the next day.
I also found out during my stay,
Sarajevo has a lot of rainy days to offer.
For me the weather in Sarajevo cannot be predicted.
I come from a hot country Malaysia with an average temperature of 28°C (82°F) and the coldest is January at 27°C (81°F) with the most daily sunshine of 8 hours in September. The wettest month is November with an average of 290mm of rain. The best month to swim in the sea is in April when the average sea temperature is 30°C (86°F)
Sarajevo's extreme cold weather is an experience for me as I have visited a few other European countries but I felt Sarajevo is very chilling especially at night
it was freezing cold.

The memorial was dedicated on 6 April 1946, the first anniversary of the liberation of Sarajevo from the four year long occupation by Nazi Germany
and the Independent State of Croatia.
The memorial is located in the centre of Sarajevo at the corner Marshall Tito street and the main Sarajevo pedestrian street, Ferhadija.

The food is simply wonderful.
The only drawbacks are the lack
of "non smoking" section for non smokers.
It's a smoked-filled restaurant during Dinner.
