It has been an early start indeed, but with coffee and more on the train toward Novi Sad, outside a coldish damp autumn landscape of endless maize fields, its been cosy to travel, even though we were given the oldest of all wagons available with Serbian Railways, and this means something!
The pedestrian zone of Novi Sad is packed with Coffee places - never seen as many elsewhere in Serbia, and this, too means something!
ET quickly got it out on how to ride this horse, and the one that invented it was genious! It really rides! Please also take note of ET new hair clips, we had to buy uppon arrival in Novi Sad!
The real treasure of Novi Sad for us this time was however the fort just accross the river, in Petrovaradin - amazing, not only our hotel Leopold! (Breakfast however comes highly desrecommended! but definitely recommended come the modernly furnished rooms on the second floor with a view over the Danube!)
Built only two hundred years ago, it took a huge toll in human life of constuction workers, but was at the times in terms of modern warfare outdated from the start. First and foremost it was a political sign of the Austria Hungarians they demonstrated never wanting to allow the Ottomans to retake Voivodina again.
Our first trial of food up on the fort was a failure, despite the views...
...but not so the second and third trial, both in "fish and vegetables"! ET ordered home made pasta two times in a row!
Always hard if not impossible not to love Voivodina, this time, too!
