Day 8 - Belgrade

---

Woke up this morning feeling better. I'll probably be about 85% when I leave tomorrow. This morning, Ivan cooked breakfast. We then listened to music, talked, etc. I also read some more about Irish history... which is getting more interesting the more I read about it.

Later on, Bobana came over to Ivan's apartment. Ivan cooked dinner (pancakes... but not the American kind... this were kind of like crepes except folded in squares and triangles... some with chocolate cream and others with meat, cheese, and sour cream). We talked and ate for about three hours. It was good to catch-up with Bobana (both last night and tonight).

Ivan and I also talked today about politics, his work, Serbia, and news. Lots is happening here... there is some flooding and some landslides in Valjevo from melting snow (actually, all over Serbia, including some in Belgrade), there was an earthquake in Serbia yesterday (4.5 Richter... I was asleep but Ivan said he felt it), finding war criminals, other war criminals (in Kosovo) that the international community isn't pursuing.

Tomorrow, I head out at 6 PM on a train to Thessaloniki. I don't know much about Thessaloniki, but I'll have the next day to tour it. After that, I'm not sure what to do going to Athens... there doesn't appear to be any sleeper cars going there, so I might head out of Thessaloniki in the early evening and stay at a hostel in Athens for a couple of nights.

Travel is exciting
Wow! I can't believe you don't know what you are going to do next. Very exciting! You're pretty brave. Oh yeah, I'm majorly psyched about you coming to Bahrain! Only 16 days! Can't wait! Can you e-mail your itinerary to my new e-mail address? [e-mail]
