Sarajewo PPS
Must tell the story - as we were told. We had lunch in a lovely OLD house on the river and the story goes like this. They wanted to build a town hall in Sarajewo. They had aquired all the land except for one small parcel with a house which was owned by an old man. He refused to sell. So the king paid him a visit and persuaded him to sell. But there were certain conditions. He wanted to move his house, as it was, to the new location across the river. So they "clamped" the house, put rope all around it, put it on a float and then 50 horses dragged it across a very shallow river to the new location where it is today - or so the story goes. That is where we had a most delecious lunch.
