Vojvodina

Guess what? I am still in Serbia.
After a good night, I considered 2 options:
A - those holidays are doomed, things will get worse and worse
B - the worst is behind me, in 24 hours I have already faced more problems than the average in 3 weeks, which means that "the best is still to come", as sombody I know says on a daily basis.

My natural optimism led me to chose option B, so let's hit the road together to discover the northern part of Serbia, Vojvodina.

First, a quick look at Novi Sad, before I leave the city.

 

Then I am on my way to Sremski Karlovci, the former seat of Serbian Orthodox Church.

How many pigeons can a building host?

Just a few kilometers after that town, you enter the National Park of Fruska Gora, with its 16 monasteries (no, I didn't visit all of them, so a few ones...).

Here is Grgeteg:

 

And Beocin:

Back to Novi Sad, I settle down on the other side of the Danube River, in Petrovaradin, a small town topped by a spectacular fortress, now used mostly as art galleries and restaurants or hôtels.

Today, my GPS has decided to go crazy, and will keep on leading me to tiny villages, instead of heading to Subotica, as I requested.

But I eventually manage to reach the initial goal, with a one hour delay, after having visited unvoluntarily most of the region, and having entered the highway by an exit closed with cones (shhhhh...).

 

 

 

And you're not dreaming, yes, the sky is blue today!

Enough fooling around this morning, I head straight back to Petrovaradin, taking the highway from the beginning (and using an official entry this time...).
