now let’s sleep on a train

sleepcarBeograd airport seemed very efficient.  The vegetarian swedish table was worth missing a train to Zagreb. Mixing yogurt with 100% raspberry juice in apple juice helped us maintain our enthusiam for yogurt even after consuming 3L  in one day.  We successuly defended our room on the train by standing and making it look more crowded than it actually was. Having the exit and entry passport checkpoints right next to each other is such an unfamiliar experience.

Zagreb at 5:30AM was more lively than Boston.

and it’s Christmas Eve again

marketKalenic market had everything from toilet paper to red onions to badnjak. Block 23 made me think about the Matrix — cool and surreal.

The second Christmas Eve dinner was also excellent, especially the oyster mushrooms and ajvar.  The bee nest in honey was sweet and chewy.

And we are back in a car again

Some big buildings still remain empty in the city of Beograd. Burek is very filling. Plasma cookies somehow remind me of childhood and Bronhi candies are soothing for my sore throat.

CD spinners at a night club in Beograd were intriguing. The DJs who were like twins but were clearly not twins were even more intriguing.

and we finished our road trip

Budapest is closer to Zagreb than Beograd. Hawks like to hang out on a fence by the highway by fields in Austria, Croatia, and Serbia. Modified Cyrillic and Latin letters start appearing on highway signs. 

Finding a parking spot is tricky in Beograd. Two layers of socks are to be worn tomorrow.
