Belgrade, 3-4 August

Woke up to a lovely warm day and decided to take it easy, have a breakfast of all food left in the fridge and spend the rest of the day swimming and relaxing on an island where there is an artificial lake. But you can never make your own plans in Belgrade! A gentleman on a neighbouring boat came over for a chat and told us that we would have coffee with him and his wife while they waited for the grandson to wake up. After that we were to go with them to have lunch. No discussion.


Dushko, Ceca, Nikola and Leslie on the way to lunch.

We had an excellent lunch, fish soup and fish, at this restaurant. It is a canoe club sponsored by Rotary. Dushko and Ceca's daughter Maria works there.

Dushko, Carl and Nikola leaving the restaurant.
We met another neighbour, Katarina and her family. Katarina and her husband have their own bussiness and spend a lot of time on their boat, a GreenLine 33, in the marina where they have access to internet. (Everywhere in Serbia we have had very good, free and fast connection to internet). Katarinas son, Milan, 4 years old, loves lions and we were able to show him all our photos of lions and other animals from our trip to South Africa last year.
Booked into the Majestic hotel for the night because of a very early flight to Copenhagen. Enjoyed a light lunch in one of the many street cafés. Great for people watching. 
We went to the Skadarska street and the Dva Jelena (two deer) restaurant. Skadarska Ulitsa is a cobble stone street in old town Belgrade. Music, people and restaurants. A very lively and vibrant atmosphere. In the yellow restaurant behind Carl was a wedding party, dancing music and lots of fun. When we later in the evening met with Alexander and Natalia they sad they had celebrated their wedding at the Dva Jelena restaurant. Quite a coincidence. 

We forget to order only one main dish. The portions are so generous so a whole family could eat one dish. No wonder Carl is getting fat.
