Villa Marija Belgrade

On my redeye bus, I have to sit next to someone. The seat is smaller than normal. Limited sleep as I can't find any position that is comfortable. I arrive in Belgrade at sunrise. At the hostel, I arrive before any of the guests are up. Many hostels allow early arrivals like me to shower and drop off my bag. They even offer me a cup of Turkish coffee. It is really good. This type of coffee is made by boiling the ...

“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” - Robert Louis Stevenson

I read that in a book at the hostel. Yes, I read. The last couple of days have been a heady cocktail of everything unexpected, but then those of you who know me will probably say the unexpected is whats expected. I hate being predictable.

My second day started early, I blame jetlag and brandy for waking up at 9AM. I got my act ...

... for her, which I didn't really want to do. She wouldn't agree to a kiss in exchange for the favor. So, we went to see a display of photo's from Serbia. Meanwhile, Ivana's friend, Kacha, wore a silky turquoise blouse whose left sleeve kept exposing her shoulder. She had a light-blond ponytail, light eyes, and light lips that were smiling all night, with a baby's lack of worry. Maybe I should've made my move on HER? It was assumed that there should be ...

For someone who is traveling to Balkans there are a lot of things to be mentioned as a guide to a grate travel experience. First of all, I think that the politics of the region is something to be left out of the experience, as it is so difficult to understand where the truth lies and not offend someone along the way. If traveling through Balkans, you will notice that ...

... fortress and had a good look around, had a drink in a cafe within in the fortress and had a good view of the area. Stopped for dinner on the way back to the hostel nothing exciting i was just hungry, when i did get back to the hostel i pretty much just collapsed as i felt really tired. Next day was still feeling lazy and didn't get out till 12ish when i did eventually get out i had a look at a few more sights mostly cathedrals, churches and other old buildings, i ...

... I was walking like crazy, recognizing the places or the people that I`d been learning at my studies before - "Oh, look Marcin, Jugoslavensko Dramsko Pozoriste, I Goran was telling me about this festival at one of the classes!", "Ooo, the house of Vuk Karazic, the national predictor of Serbians!", "Aaaaa the Ciril and Metodi monument!!! They`re patrons all of the Orthodox! Zdravko used to tell us about them at almost every class!" etc., etc. I was so ...

... to destroy building and cost about 3€.On our way there,i imagined the place to be about 50 people at a small bar with tekno/rock music on but it was just a opposite! Around 400 people at this big building with 3 different bars,one of them outside with a live band.AWESOME,i thought.I rushed into first place i could see that sold alcohol and bought a beer for me and the guide (i forgot his name,sorry).Then i turned around and noticed that all my friends were gone into the groud ...

Here I am in Serbia's capital and largest city. After the heavily Austro-Hungarian feel of Vojvodina and its cities of Subotica and Novi Sad, Belgrade is definite move closer to the Serbian soul. There are still some definite Central European influences here, with a number of grand old streets full of gorgeous classical and baroque buildings. Churches alternate between curvy Byzantine affairs and elegant, streamlined structures that could well be in Vienna or Budapest. In between it ...

... Club, Katerina. I contacted her hoping she'd be able to host us in Montenegro, but she was studying in Belgrade at the time we were passing through. Nevertheless she met us for a drink with some friends and gave us invaluable information about Montenegro. Before I met her I wasn't even sure if Chris and I were going to get the train or bus to Montenegro, but after two hours with Katerina and her friends we knew exactly what we wanted to see. Our train to Bar ...
