Day 130 Sunday 24/01/10

We had an early start to drive to Serbia. On getting out to the Land Rover, MC found that someone had hit the Land Rover and damaged the back corner. The vehicle survived 4 months of North Africa and sustained its only bodywork damage with only one week to go!


It was very cold and we set off driving wrapped up in coats and ski salopettes. We thought that we may have some problems at the Serbian border as our Land Rover, at a gross weight of 3500kg, is classed as a lorry in Serbia. If we had to enter as a lorry, it would mean a long queue with many HGV’s on the border. As it happened, we sailed through the car lane in two minutes with no hassle!

We had arranged to meet Bebek, a Serbian caver that we met in Hungary last new year, in his home town of Jagodina and then travel to Belgrade with him and his wife (Brana) to their flat. It turned out that we were meeting them at Bebek’s niece’s birthday party and were fed before we could leave.
