Lothar and I left Zlatar in the morning, stopping in Nova Varoš for a last burek breakfast.
We took a stop in Zlatibor. It’s a bigger town in the same mountain region, and much more touristy. We ran into what looked like a summer camp event for kids. There were hundreds of them, all wearing the same tshirts and they were from all over, and groups of them took turns on stage teaching everyone dances from their region. They were having such a good time! We saw Serbia, Egypt, Greece and Croatia dancing.
We walked around the lake and and enjoyed the fountains.
On the opposite side, we came across a crepe place!! Lothar was very happy and got an ‘apple pie’ crepe. Mine was predictably caramel, with bananas and whipped cream, plus plazma cookie and oreo crumble. I should not have finished all of it but I did.
Once we arrived at Dad’s apartment back in Balgrade, we decided we would walk along the river then find a place to have dinner.
We walked a long way, met up with the Danube, then I remembered that we might be close to Zemun, the next town over, and I remembered visiting a tower there with great views. We located the tower on the map, and this was our walk.
We found a stairway in the back streets that took us all the way up! On the way we saw the market square and pedestrian only zones, shops and restaurants. We earmarked one for the way back.
The views from the tower were as great as expected.
We walked back down a long cobble-stone street that I remembered.
We found the restaurant ‘Veliki Trg’, and had a last great Serbian meal. Lothar had grape vine leaf rolls, and I had chevaps with lepinja bread. Excellent!
Well what a trip!!! We’ll definitely be coming back.
A few hilights from the trip back. We stayed overnight in New York before returning home.
