Belgrade; Friday, 01 August, 2014

With the sun actually shining this morning I checked out, left my luggage and headed out to explore more of the lower castle area.

My first stop was the exhibition in the Nebojsa Tower, located on the banks of the Sava river at the bottom of the castle hill, except the tower was closed for no apparent reason, so I had to make do with just having a wander round the outside and then head up through the various fortifications of the lower part of the fortress.

I stopped off at the small collection of churches about halfway up to have a look round and then wandered through the main part of the fortress over to the Roman Well.

A quick look round the well and then I headed down into town for some lunch.

Lunch completed I had a wander through the Skadarlija, the bohemian quarter of the city, though to be fair it mostly just resembled a large tourist trap.

By now it was time to start moving on, so I headed back to the hotel, picked up my luggage and headed down towards the airport bus back out to Belgrade airport and onto my next stop, and next country.
