This morning is bright and sunny as we wake up in Novi Sad, still in Serbia. We are expecting 26 degrees today!
Our morning tour is to Sremski Karlovic. and we travel over one of the new bridges as all their bridges were destroyed by NATO in the war with Kosovo. We visit the small town which was very pretty. We then head on to our honey and wine tasting. The history of the place was fascinating as the original as a young man was suffering from an illness that the doctors said was incurable and that he should go back to his home and spend his remaining time with his family. He got stung by bees a few time and became fascinated with them. He recovered and had a large family and became an expert in honey making. He changed the method of collecting honey where in the past they would kill all the bees to collect the honey now they have the bee “houses” where the bees dwell and honey is collected humanely.
We then have a wine tasting and honey tasting. I liked the honey but the wines were ordinary.
After lunch we had free time and we went for a walk in the second biggest town of Serbia. It was a beautiful stroll through a park and a large pedestrian mall. We could not believe the amount of eateries and people who were about. It is 2.30 in the afternoon and the place is pumping. It puts Melbourne to shame. Another thing that stood out was the number of young women with babies walking about. It is a beautiful sunny afternoon with a temperature of 26 degrees. Time to head back to the ship for a rose on the sun deck.
After dinner there is a show on but we are feeling tired so we head to bed at 9 pm.
