Belgrade Round 2, Subotica
Hey guys, since I last talked to you I have spent 2 nights in Belgrade and made my way to Subotica.
On Saturday morning, I made the three hour drive from the hotel near Nis to Belgrade. There was some more great scenery along the way.
Upon arrival into the city, I checked into my hostel, which was only about a block from my friend Mickey’s bar. Since I basically just came back to Belgrade this time to hang out with him, I figured that I might as well be close. On Saturday evening, I went over to the bar pretty early and posted up. It was good to catch up with Mickey and they had a great funk band at the bar that night.
On Sunday afternoon, I ventured out for a walk down the main pedestrian street and a got haircut, but that was about it until the evening. I was definitely moving a little slow. But I got it pulled together enough to go out and do a little busking in the evening and then headed back over to the Pivo Blues to hear a great band that was playing Sunday night. I definitely took it pretty easy, but had a nice time chilling out with Mickey, Mike, and a Swedish guy from the hostel we met named Nils.
On Monday, I got up and had a great lunch near the hostel and then got on the road to Subotica – which is in the far north of Serbia on the Hungarian border. I got to drive through the breadbasket of Serbia and saw lots of farmland on the way.
Upon arrival to Subotica, I got checked into my Airbnb and then set out to do a little exploring around the city center. There was some nice architecture here, but it started to get dark before I had a chance to see too much. So I went back to my Airbnb and just chilled out and did a load of laundry.
On Tuesday, I got up and checked out of my Airbnb and set out to do a little more exploring around Subotica. I saw a few more cool buildings and streets – including the famous synagogue – and had a great meal and one of the fancier restaurants in the city.
Today, I’m headed from Subotica back to Novi Sad for two nights. Tonight, I’m hoping to link up with my friend Milan and tomorrow night I have a show at the Graffiti cafe, where I played last time I was in Novi Sad. Then on Thursday, I’m headed back to Vukovar, Croatia to see more friends and play another show on Friday night.
Talk to you soon!
