Novi Sad
Entry 12 of 22 | show all | print this entry |
Day 1
After the lovely 8 hour train ride from Hungary to Serbia across sunflower fields, and having my passport confiscated by Hungarian border guards, we arrived in Novi Sad. I wasnt sure what to expect of Novi Sad, it definitely wasn't somewhere I would have chosen to visit if it hadn't been on my tour's itinerary. Luckily I was pleasantly surprised. I found a lovely small university town with cobblestoned streets, a lively yet pretty main square, and a fortress on a hill where they hold the annual EXIT Festival, which was happening 3 days after our departure! Only saw the town by night, and it was lovely. Going to explore a little more tomorrow!
Day 2
Had a tour of the city this morning with our tour guide. We then hiked up the hill to Petrovaradin Fortress, the place where the EXIT Festival was to be held. The views from there were great...and boy it was hot!!! We took a trip to a nearby town later in the evening and got to sample some honey and wine that they were famous for. Went out for dinner along the Danube...lovely!
