And It Snowed

It snowed for the weekend in Serbia. And it was deep, eventually.  All day Saturday, it snowed. And we went back home on Sunday. We had to dig our cars out for the ride. Snow made Belgrade even prettier.

 

Belgrade at Night

These photos were all taken near Republic Square, where we were staying. Night gives a bit of oomph to the statues.

 

Pay Phones

I don't think I've seen a pay phone in a decade, yet there's a whole bank of them in Belgrade.

 

King Michael Street

We went to Belgrade in December, so it was full of decorations. These are on the main walking/shopping street.

 

Down the Hall

The entry level hallway of our rental in Belgrade. It was so Soviet.
 

Nis Riverside

One side of the riverbank is commercial; the other side is Nis castle. These are photos of the castle, which has become a university and cafe area. I would have liked more time to explore.

 

Group Meal in Nis

Nis is between Pristina and Belgrade, so we stopped there for lunch last December when we were doing a group trip. Ranko recommended the restaurant, and it was a good one, though parking was hard to find. Nis is a city that deserves further exploration one day. I don't know why they named the pub Crazy Horse, though. That name always makes me think of west Texas.

 

Food Tour Gifts

We took a food tour in Belgrade. Food was good; photos in another post. These were the little gifts from the tour.

 

Monastery Buys

We visited Manasijia Monastery in Despotovac, Serbia at the end of February. This is what we bought at the gift shop.

 

Yet Another Purse

Found this backpack purse in a small shop in Belgrade. The shop also had a lot of socks. Shopping was done.
