Today was spent inflicting pain on my body!
An organized city walk took our group from the hotel to the downtown area of Belgrade where we visited a number of the major tourist attractions, the most significant of which was the Fortress, a very imposing structure overlooking the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. A multiwalled structure dating back several hundred years , it is part military museum, part park. It also contains a zoo and various monuments and churches.
Following a lunch break Susanna wandered off with a few of the women in the group, leaving me to explore at my own speed. A fairly long walk across the river to New Belgrade brought me to a shopping mall where I picked up a bus pass which allowed me to cover the 5km trip to the small city of Zemun where I spent a couple of hours wandering through various churches, cemeteries and touristic areas along the river bank. A bus ride back to the city centre was followed by a walk along one of the main avenues exploring and photographing various churches, government buildings and parks before limping the last km. to the hotel. All in all, about 8km covered on foot, a bit more than I had originally planned.
