Today rain is forecast but it is only a 20% chance so we head for town to get breakfast. We sit out the morning rain doing two of the three things Serbians do.. coffee and watching the world go by. We refrain from smoking though they do not hold back, outside or in which comes as a surprise.
Strolling through streets a little away from the busy main streets I start to feel better about Belgrade. The buildings still look grimy, the paths are washed somewhat @aacleaner by the rain and the streets are tree lined which softens them.
The Nikola Tesla Museum is intrresting, no public loo, the temporary exhibition advertised isn't ready and we just missed sa tour - an opportunity for coffee and a bite to eat.
Returning to the Museum we enjoy the tour, the demonstrations of his machines and the now open temporary exhibition which had filled up time nicely. Time to saunter to the dock to the river cruise.
This was fun, a beer inboard, very little commentary, an interesting view of the city. We had passed some riverside restaurants on our way along the dock and, inviting a couple from our group who did the cruise, we settle on one and thoroughly enjoy a break from goulash devouring some very good pizza.
By chance our leader, Milan, is in another restaurant nearby and he tells us that tourists haven't discovered these new restaurants yet - just locals around us. iv feel ever so slightly smug. Good thing we have a walk home to digest dinner.
