I went to the bus station yesterday to buy a bus ticket to and from a town about three hours from here where a friend lives. The bus station is adjacent to the former, old, beautiful train station where I arrived in 1977 from Paris. It has been closed for quite a few years now and replaced by a brand new one in another part of town.....all this to make way for highrises you can see through the grass grown over the rails. Just to think, the Orient Express once passed through Belgrade.
Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.
