Unexpected Day in Belgrade

The next day (WOW, this was forever ago. please excuse my blogging absence) we learned that our flight had been rescheduled, making it impossible to get to Athens they day we planned. Instead, the airlines recommended that we take the first leg of our flight to Belgrade, and then the next day we would have a shorter flight and would arrive to Athens earlier the next day, which would give us more time to spend in the city.

I will admit I was not super excited with the idea to return to this city. Lauren and I had just recently been on three different occasions and I had had enough. While I was a little annoyed to be stuck on a layover there, I decided it was a good chance to show my parents around. It was also a bonus that Maja was there. I gave her a call and we met up with her while she showed us the sites.

It was pretty much a deja vu of the last time I was there. We visited Kalemegdan, Sava Church, and ate palacinke. It was a pretty quick turnaround and we were only there for a day, but I'm glad it worked out that way. I was able to say bye to Maja (which didn't happen last time because we thought we would be going back through, but ended up in Bulgaria) and spend some time showing my parents around a different part of ex-Yugoslavia.

So long Belgrade!
