We
drove across the country of Serbia to see the fort and it was closed
till next year. A bit of a disappointment. We drove past (or under as
the case was) then turned around and headed back towards Belgrad.
Our
thoughts had been to go visit the capital, maybe grab a hotel for two
nights, and just have a look at the city. However as we got closer
this held less appeal and we changed direction to “miss” the
capital.
100 km south east of Belgrade, between Ralja and Radinac were lots of rail lines marked. It turned out to be a very smelly dirty area with several smoke stacks and piles of coal (hence the rail lines). A coal power plant. Not a nice feeling about the place
To market to market....
We crossed the Danube again and headed on North. The idea was to head north to Hungary’s capital Budapest before heading for the coast.
After
a few circuits of the back streets of Titel, John finally found us a
camp on the West bank of the Tisza river. About 10km north of the
Danube. We had camped on the Tisza river our third night in Hungary
on the 27th October. And another time
in Ukraine on November
11th. A much visited River.
