We thought we were well prepared for the Hungarian border control at Mohacs. But nevertheless the border police were out in full force to meet us. On land was a police car with blue light and the sirene blasting and on the water came a police speed boat showing us the ponton where we must moor. At the ponton were two police officers telling us to take passports and boat papers with us and follow them to the building for Passport, customs, police and health control. A 70 EUR fine for not having a stamped and signed boat certificate. We were told we shouldn't pay. After that we were cleared to leave Hungary and not to come back in six months. 
Dinner at the Tscharda "Zlatna kruna".
Then cross the border to Serbia and Croatia. We stay in Serbia so we check in at Beslan. An agent takes care of the formalities and we pay 90 EUR. The official fills in loads of forms in 4 originals and that's it. Now we are cleared for the Serbian waters. Off we speed to Apatin.
Leslie's favorite water condition.
Apatin had a brewery since 1756. Here they brew the local beer Jelen and on license Staropramen, Becks, Efes and a few more. The pleasant smell from the brewery was all over Apatin.
The Apatin Marina with all the small flat bottomed fishing boats. Fishing is the No.1 leisure time activity
Some of the boats have cabin.
Here's a boat coming back from a fishing trip. All equipment needed for a few days out on a good fishing spot. It took the owner a full afternoon to unload the boat
Best view and superb grilled food.
A heron at the Apatin Danube promenade.
A storm is coming in. Luckily we only got a few drops of rain but the thunder was impressive.
Here we are leaving Apatin. The Tscharda "Zlatna kruna" seen from the river.
The history of Apatin is so complex and interesting. Turks, Habsburgers, Hungarian, Germans, Serbian kings etc.
