1000km in search of the Balkans sounds, 15/08/2008
Distance: 115 Km
Difficulty: Low, flat ground
Road: Main road in good conditions.
Comments: The entrance to Belgrade was quiet dangerous.
The morale was through the roof, we were only 200km to Guca!!
In Belgrade had the first opportunity to use the couchsurfing. We stayed in the house of Sanja and his brother Branko and it was a very enjoyable experience.
Our favorite area in Belgrade was an area of baths on the banks of the Danube called Ada.
