“Hey Randy

Thanks for the feed-back and your excellent blog – what a exciting life you lead! So lucky to be able to travel so wide and regularly.

I had a quick read through and will look up your youtube stuff when I have a moment, just tocomment on your blog:

The ‘Milk’ with your ‘burger’ is Kajmak, lovely sort of curd cheese unique to this region, it goes with warm local bread and rostijl, also great with peppers etc. Sounds odd for visitors but it’s great, red wine compulsory IMO! ;-)

Like you I am 6′ 3 and when out with local young friends they mostly look down at me, I got used to it long ago lol but should have used your stature to challenge that taxi driver, you were ripped- off paying RSD1400 from Usce back to hotel! See latest threads, it’s a horrible thing that seems regular in Belgrade, still ;-(

Glad you enjoyed the trip and had good hospitality, that hotel (former Admiral Club) is great and good value.

Thanks for your positive comments and well informed info.

it’s amazing that, even when this racing was on, my local friends knew nothing about it, I’m still none the wiser really except I know exactly where it took place and NO there is no health and safety here! Only in Serbia could you take a walk in the park with your dog to find yourself suddenly in a race track! LOL

I will now look out for this event next year,if you come back let me know and I’ll show you a couple of nice suburbs. Thanks for sharing your trip!”

“Great feedback, glad you had a nice time ! And read your blog, wonderful memories….Carol is one lucky gal :) !

Glad you enjoyed the food, perhaps if you come again you can explore the countryside of Serbia which is beautiful. BTW Air Serbia has been around since 1927 formally known as JAT – Jugoslav Airlines, in 2013 they changed the name to Air Serbia, (owned by the Serbia government and practically by Etihad Airlines). During the days of Yugoslavia they flew direct to Chicago, L.A, and NYC. During the 90’s the US imposed santions on Yugoslavia mainly Serbia and all commercial flights came to a hault. As of today June 23, once again non-stop flights have become available between BEG – NYC….so come and visit again !

P.S I find a bit funny you think Serbs are “quiet”, perhaps being gracious and hospitable toward foreigners….but in general are loud which is a characteristic I believe shared with most countries of southern Europe. All the best to you !”
