The year was 2018… the month August… we experienced a rare nonrev travel nightmare. (Here is the link to refresh your memory Nonrev Nightmare). Once again… five years later, we endured another crazy turn of events.
All good things must come to an end… at least for a short time. It was a great trip. I am now a giant fan of the Balkan and look forward to spending years exploring the entire region. Time to take a quick look back at the past month, things I will miss… Click on the photo to see some additional pics…
Sorry I couldn’t stay awake yesterday to finish our adventure in Novi Sad! Today starts with the continuation of our time at the fortress. Stunning! Then adventuring in City Centre. The above photo was a 5 hundred billion dollar bill that Mihajlo carries around to remind himself of the days of extreme inflation brought on by their time under Communism. He explained that the system looked good on paper… and probably served his parents better. But it failed because there was no incentive for anyone to work… so the economy collapsed. Fascinating information… Click the photo to see the beauty of Novi Sad.
Visiting the city of Nis, was a sobering experience. Join us as we explore the Red Cross Nazi Concentration Camp, Bubanj Memorial Park, Skull Tower (photo above), Nis Fortress and King Milan Square. Quite a day! Click on the photo to learn more about this fascinating city…
Another fun day! We are exhausted… had a very early dinner and are safely tucked in our apartment. So cozy and the view that never gets old. Can you see how tired I look? Had a bit of a flare up yesterday/last night. Therefore, we took it slow-ish. Join us on our journey to Saint Sava, Kalenic Pijaca and dinner. Click on the photo (or title) to see the Serbian sights!
Glistening with rainwater, our balcony didn’t get much use today! A rainy day is just what we needed… it was time to slow down and recharge our “batteries”. Making a list of errands, we checked each one off one by one. Click on the photo (or title) to follow us through our lazy day…
Wow! We finished up our time in Albania (for now) and headed to the airport… next stop: Serbia! These are two locations completely out of our wheelhouse but absolutely more spectacular than we ever imagined! Click on the photo (title) to see how we finished up Albania (in a BIG way) and our very first impressions of Belgrade…
Our whirlwind excursion took us back over the mountains, along the seaside and finally to our flat in Tirana. One thing we noticed in the many miles traveled… there are fruit stands EVERYWHERE! We saw them in town, on the side of the highway and by the beach. Fresh fruit is easy to find! Click on the photo (or title) to see some of Albania’s beauty!
