Last month, we had a long (enough) layover on in Belgrade, Serbia to venture out into the city. We only had 6-7 hours, but it was just enough time to walk around and eat a bunch of stuff. So it was great.
First, we started by walking around and grabbing a lite bite:
 |
| Yep. Looks a lot like a bunch of other European cities. |
 |
| The lighting was weird on patio but this Serbian sampler was just right. There were 3 different kinds of smoked pork, local cheeses, a scoop of sour cream (SO GOOD), baked beans, and cornbread muffins (also delicious), and beeeeeer. |
Then, we wandered around the
Kalemegdan Citadel where they had a bunch of weapons on display (cannons, large guns, missiles, etc.) But of course, the only photo I took was a wonky pano of the front lawn.
 |
| You can just barely see the dinosaur exhibit in the front - a worthy addition to any medieval fortress. |
Then back to another cafe for some more nibbles while we tried the local drink - quince brandy. It was served in tiny little bottles laying in a bundt(ish) pan full of ice chunks. If you ever have the opportunity to try it - it's much stronger than it looks!
 |
| Tired but pleased. The umbrellas were fun. |
 |
| Quince brandy and more smoked meats |
Aaaand that was it. It was just enough to make us want to go back (me for the Danube, Steven for the smoked prosciutto).
