Savski Venac

Body clock a bit out of whack... Waking up at 5.00am! 😐 We headed up to the restaurant for breakfast, due to low numbers on the boat breakfast was A La Carte so a huge egg & veggie breakfast it was. From this point I'd been sick from Saturday 6th of May with stomach pains so had to be careful what I had. 🤢🤒
We had a quick Google of the sights and decided to visit the Belgrade Fortress, just a short walk away.... WRONG! 😡😮😭 One icy-pole, a drink stop, a huge bridge to climb, 100 pitstops 'admiring the view' or 'tying my shoelace' (whilst wearing slip-ons!), we arrived about 50 minutes later however it felt like hours. We didn't realise how huge it was, beautiful gardens and Military Museum in the middle. 😍🌲🌸 After exploring for a few hours we ventured back to the hotel via the city & a supermarket buying some ingredients for sandwiches which is where my next story starts.... 🥙😂🤣

Sitting back in the room on the bed, two bites into Q's sandwich I'm thinking 'I wonder what's really in that meat he bought' so I decide to turn to the old faithful, Google... I'm mortified to read the list of ingredients and he spits his sandwich straight out! Let's say I'm glad I passed on his offer to try some. This sliced meat contained hearts, pigs ears and languages... Languages?! Gosh you could only imagine... Straight into the bin outside!!! 😦🤢😨
For dinner we went to a restaurant on the river nearby called 'Gabbiano', soup for me to keep it basic for my tummy and pasta for Q - pretty delicious and great service. As we walked out we were both still feeling hungry & I was finally starting to feel better so... SECOND DINNER TIME! (Naughty!) I remembered seeing a crepes place on Google so two doors down we found the place where we were about to put back all on all the calories we'd just lost that day. Snickers crepe for me! YUM! It didn't disappoint and we practically​ rolled back to the hotel! Haha. 🥞🥞Read more

Buffet breakfast on offer this morning - YUM! 😍 Lots to choose from, something for everyone. ☕🌭🥞🥚🍞🥐 After filling up on the most important meal of the day, we caught the bus (Bus 72) out to the airport to visit the Aeronautical Museum. 🛩️🚁🛬 It cost 600 Dinars per adult and we spent about an hour here viewing the war planes & helicopters from the Yugoslav Air Force and Serbian Air Force plus a few others. It's really interesting to see, I'd love to be able to hop into more of the aircraft's but only allowed in one. The museum is starting to look really run down which is a shame for this wonderful collection​.
We bussed back to the hotel after a lucky guess as to what stop to get off at, quick lunch of sandwiches (no meat this time!) And a nap! 🚃🛏️
In the evening we walked to the harbour to catch a sightseeing cruise but after realising they left from the other side of the river (near the fortress on day one) and sprinting there... We couldn't decide which one to go on so opted for dinner instead as we were hanging for a drink 😋 🍸🍝
We caught the trusty bus 72 back towards our hotel which saved some time 😊🚃Read more
