On Monday morning we had a very important mission – see the psychiatrist, obtain prescriptions and refill Denis’s medicine supply. After the mission was successfully accomplished, we went for our favourite type of attraction – old architecture. 

Belgrade is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe and the world, and a gem for architecture lovers. You can spend hours walking there. But a team is only as strong as the weakest link, and Ksenia still was not capable of long walks, so we chose the Belgrade Fortress to be the official representative of Belgrade. The fortress consists of the old citadel and a park, together they are huge. Do not expect a short look around, plan for a long walk. Admission to the fortress is free.

There is a big open-air exposition of military equipment that includes various cannons, tanks and other armoured vehicles from different eras. Here is just a couple photos.

We feel that we are repeating ourselves, but the view from the fortress is magnificent.

It was our last day in Belgrade. First time we could not even find Serbia (and our accommodation was cancelled on short notice, anyway), on our second attempt the accommodation was not cancelled, but still we did not even get the key. In Belgrade we were lucky enough to spend three nights in the apartment we booked, but it was not the most pleasant experience. As our friend once said, nowadays it is difficult to tell apart signs of fate  from targeted advertising. We considered all of the above to be obvious signs of fate and decided not to stay in Serbia.

Although, maybe we had heard a vampire’s call. There is no reasonable explanation for our decision, but we were heading to Transylvania, Romania.
