SERBIA

I imagine when most people think Serbia or Serbians... their thoughts and images are of the negative variety...
Serbia was actually another ok place... and probably a little better set up and organised for the international tourist trade... if the opportunity came up, I would probably be open to return to this one and explore further...

Certainly there is an incredible and rich history here... Romans, Ottomans, Austro-Hungarians have all left their mark... thus some of the architecture is quite stunning... in fact its mostly all I have taken photos of...

Those that speak English are very friendly... those that dont are not... unfortunately...

Serbia does have a train network... The trains are cheaper than the buses however I was warned by several locals that they were unreliable and not to use them...
I decided to have a go anyway... Cant be that bad I thought...
Wrong... its best to heed the advice of those in the know on this particular subject...
My 1.5hr journey ended up taking 4.5hrs...

I was so surprised to come across squat toilets in Serbia... they really are the absolute worst things to use... I think that I would happily much prefer to go pee behind a bush than use these disgusting man-made latrines... and even worse... you have to pay to use them...

Kosovo next...

I found squat toilets in France! Now that was a shock.
