Don't ask me why I didn't write anything about this trip we did back in April with the Teachers' Association.
It was a good trip but I wasn't really impressed. And as we spent so many hours inside the bus (which had very narrow seats) I felt very opressed. Still now that I see the photos I realise we had fun and saw interesting places.
I took more than 500 photos so I will only share a few.
All the way to Belgrade the scenery was fantastic.
The view from our hotel.
First day bus tour. Bombarded buildings from the
NATO bombing in 1999.
Saint Savas Church. Impressive!
The view of the river from the
Kalemegdan Fortress.
Nebojsa Tower where
Rigas Feraios was killed.
Lunch at
Zemun.
The notorious
Karajorjeva.
Cruising
Sava River.
Smederevo Fortress
Acting a scene of our play even there!
In Romania at
Timisoara.
Meat and the famous Easter eggs.(
Pysanka)
My beloved Romanian Pottery.
At the monasteries
Velika Remeta and
Krusedol.
Sremski Karlovci, a tiny picturesque town.
Novi Sad
Nis
We didn't want to spend much so we only bought some local snacks.....
a handmade icon for my mum at
Dzep....
and a book and some fridge magnets. Also this lovely Romanian vase. Prices are exceptionally low both in Serbia and Romania!

The icon for your Mum is totally gorgeous! I hope she loved it.
Your pictures are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with the others! Beautiful photos and what a fabulous gift for your Mum!! 8*)
What a wonderful thing to travel with your fellow teachers!! Is it something you all do on your own, or school sponsored?
Either way I love it! Thank you for all those links, too!! I had such a great time reading about what I was looking at!!! When I see all these historic sites it makes me feel like the USA is isolated! But then I see the bombed places and I am grateful for that distance!
Thank you for a wonderful trip!! And, I love that Romanian pottery too! 8*)
I am jealous!!!!

Ariadne,
A great variety of things you did on your trip! The countryside is, indeed beautiful, all those pretty wildflowers and hills! Not sure I'd like the food too much, but it's interesting to try stuff, right?
Merry Christmas to you! I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip!
