You can have the best of both worlds, or sort of, here in Belgrade. Visit one of the city's floating bars or restaurants, many of which offer a view of the city. How about "Karibi," which, after a few shots of rakija or šljivovica (RAH-kee-yuh/SHLEE-vo-veet-sa), local brandy/plum brandy, just might make you imagine you're in the tropics. You'll feel warmer anyway.Monday, December 29, 2008

Could use a little Caribbean this time of year.
Some "vruca rakija" goes a long way :o)
Ziveli, Branka
I'll drink to that. Good one BIBI. Hope you and your family had a good Christmas. I have had you all in my thoughts and prayers this season.

It looks pretty chilly there - a little warming up with sljivovica seems like a good idea. Another interesting & funny juxtaposition.
Does the tower belong to Saborna Crkva? I can recall being in Beograd only twice (but I had been there as a little kid) in my teens & early twenties, while visiting from US. I walked around Kalimegdan & remember writing postcards at a restaurant in a high-rise building. Sadly, I was not interested in achitecture or churches back then & missed seeing a lot of things. I do still own an okarina & a square basket from Etnografski muzej.
ha ha what a fun picture, still looks mighty brrrr to me. see my post yesterday for your lovely photos you sent me. thanks i love them.
Nothing better than a drop of brandy to warm the inner heating system. Keep on drink and you'll soon forget all about the winter!
It looks like a lot of people need šljivovica these days around the world...
Your picture depicts the idea of cold very well.
I would need not only rakija but also maybe a tequila worm to think I was in the tropics today. ;)
Speaking of views, I saw a European company on a Sunday morning news magazine show that offers to lift diners into the sky to offer them spectacular views a few hundred feet in the air. Perfect if you are in NYC, or Paris, etc.
