Novi Sad & Fruška Gora in Serbia

We were supposed to go to Belgrade to see the Partisans Football Club play. The game was postponed while we were driving. (Thank goodness in this moment that the boys are obsessed with soccer and were looking for the starting lineup.) So, reading up on travel advice from people like Doug, Aaron's uncle, we changed our route and headed to Novi Sad. This town was the European Capital of Culture for 2022, while our previous stop, Timișoara, holds the title for 2023.

We soaked up a bit of Serbian culture at the Novi Sad Strand, or riverside scene on the Danube. Lots of action! We rode the swift moving river downstream a bit and floated at the shore. Lots of people playing sports, sitting in sun chairs, and a bit less smoking than Romania!

We ate dinner in town, enjoying our first taste of Ćevapi, kebabs that are very common so far in Serbia and Bosnia. We enjoyed the tourist center area at night, then headed for Fruška Gora National Park to camp.

This was a lovely deciduous forest. We camped alongside an Italian/Spanish family with a 5 year old who they've brought campervan traveling since she was born.

We enjoyed some mountain biking (Judah hurt his hand in the morning) on trails and a bike park. Surprsingly, a horse came galloping in while the boys were riding. All in all, it was hot and interesting!Baca lagi
