Bike making friends with the locals
Bike making friends with the localsThis morning I cycled from the campsite to Belgrade, a total distance of 10 miles and it tool me just over 2 hours. I was pretty exhausted by the time I got there, just shows how unfit I have become.
There is a great cycle route in the capital that runs along the Danube. Very safe with a fantastic view of the river and the capital city. The bike has made many friends as shown in the pictures. Someone in the market offered me €20 for the bicycle which I thought was very funny.
The market place was full of people and stocked with all sorts of local produce, mainly fruit and vegetables, very little meat around.
The people in Belgrade are friendly enough and I occasionally get a wave from other drivers.
I was sitting in McDonalds having a coffee when I noticed a lot of the local people were walking towards a particular part of town. I decided to investigate and my instinct was right, that part of the city housed the pedestrianised shopping centre where most of the local Serbs do their shopping (at least the wealthy Serbs).
