Novi Sad - Belgrade, 1 August

Today is the last leg of our journey before taking a break for a wedding in Sweden. We have 90 km to cover which should take just under 6 hours. 

The marina in Novi Sad with carl returning from the "en suite" bathroom, which was in the restaurant!

View from the bathroom.

Marina Liman seen from the restaurant 

Early morning start in cloudy weather, not sure if it will rain today, but it is still hot.

Remains of one of the bridges bombed by NATO.

Building a new bridge. Wonder who got the contract?

Today the river is just getting wider and wider. During the whole trip we met only 2 barges and 2 or 3 small boats. We also passed a man paddling a canoe which, judging by the packing, is probably making his way to the Black Sea. We passed this beach with tents and families and canoes.

The Danube Hotel welcoming visitors.

Another hotel and apparently a very good fish restaurant.

Approaching Belgrade a new bridge still under construction. Was a bit confusing because it did not show up on the charts.

Alexander and Nenad meet us in Nenad's beautiful boat and guided us to the marina on the Sava river where we will park LelleBelle until 13 August. Alexander and Nenad have been incredibly helpful. This marina is very safe and secure.

We all went off the a fantastic fish restaurant a couple of hundred metres from the Marina. It was impossible to decide what to eat so we let Alexander order for us. Great food, beautiful presentation and great service. 

Alexander, Nenad and Carl having polished off a whole fish. Thank you Alexander and Nenad for a wonderful introduction to your city.
