It’s a work/drink coffee/chat/go for walks day today, so no new trip reports. Instead I’ll do as the media and just add to yesterday’s report. The landscape was amazing – but I think I mentioned that yesterday as well. The group was very small as well, just tour guide Marco from the hostel, another traveller […]
Easy going Užice
This city is a nice and calm contrast to noisy and polluted Belgrad. The hostel fits right in and is the best on this trip so far. Good location, nice people, terrace with amazing view, decent beds and clean bathrooms. Don’t see myself leaving in a hurry. When I learned that horseback tours are on […]

The local government doesn’t shy away from spending a few tax dollars on illuminating the city’s shiniest buildings. Good reason to grab the camera and head out for an evening/night walk. Both of the above buildings are about three minutes walking distance from the hostel. The church below about 15-20 minutes.

The journey started well. Turns out when you pay a little extra […]
