According the local people in Bosnia and Herzegovina it is better to visit Sarajevo in September than in October, hence swapping the dates in the list.

I came across your post and it got me thinking about how cool it must have been to visit those Olympic sites in Europe. It reminded me of how I like to unwind during quiet moments—usually with a game of solitaire. It's just a nice, easy way to relax, especially after a busy day. Made me curious if anyone else found their own little ways to chill out during those trips.

It was amazing in all these Olympic towns. You surely missed some fun....but what a way to spend a bit of time in the old world....Combine the 5 and make a nice Eurotour out of it!!
