My travel through Serbia started from the Bosnian border travelling to Belgrade via the Drina River House & The Sargan Eight Train before arriving in Belgrade to start exploring. I managed to capture some historical places and whilst some being the victims of bombings, it educated me into what actually happened in this beautiful Balkan country.
My sincere thanks to my very special friend Milan Kosanovic and your dear Mother Zanka Kosanovic may her beautiful soul rest in peace). Thank you in abundance for opening your family home to me and sharing your memories and experiences with me along with overwhelming hospitality. I will cherish our friendship always and appreciate your time being a fantastic tour guide around your amazing city of Belgrade. Sharing your knowledge, former Yugoslavian history & obviously lots of laughs along the way. Was a real privilege to walk the the streets of your home with you my Brother.

Drina River House - Serbia. Right in the middle of the River, this house is very interesting how it stays on the small piece of rock beneath

The Sargan Eight Train is a very picturesque narrow gauge railway in the Zlatibor mountains in western Serbia. The train runs for 15.5 kms between Mokra Gore & Šargan Vitasi passing through 22 tunnels and over 5 bridges. I'm very glad I found this hidden gem.
