Zamun, Skadarlija

Sunday – the recovery day.. almost without pain (Serbian mixtures make miracles :P ) but already with otitis… We went to Zemun - small nice district on northern part of Belgrade. perfect for Sunday’s walk, jogging, rest… whatever you like. The day was hotter than before so without any doubts we spend half of day enjoying sun on bench and grass :) Late afternoon when our mind convinced the will to do something more, we moved back to the centre to see skipped day before the “Belgrade’s Montmartre” - Skadarlija makes for bohemian quarter of Belgrade. Although short and curved, street includes well-known restaurants, a hotel, of course art and antique galleries, and souvenir shops...sipping coffee in one of local gardens, listening to Serbian or gypsy music.. that’s one of the most remarkable attractions of Belgrade.

Food – of course you can look for something in expensive restaurants ( It’s not a surprise that prices in Belgrade are similar to these which you can find in other European capitals), but the food which for sure you have to taste is Pljeskavica (probably I made several mistakes in this word) but also lots of other grilled kinds of meat. It’s a kind of – here I don’t want to use this ugly word, but – hamburger. But well-known hamburger in comparison to pljeskavica is like comparing Daewoo to Maybach both can move… just you never know how far you can go with the first one. Different types of meat… but real meat – not some artificial stuff sold in E.U. - fresh bread or kind of cake, fresh vegetables and unforgettable Balkan spices ! I really advice to visit one of such “kiosks” with grilled meat – Miki’s place – on Brankova street. The big Pljeskavica costs there 120 dinars and to have fun you can take few steps more and enter McDonalds, were for tiny plastic hamburger you pay about 150 dinars.
