Heat Wave

Belgrade feels like a cauldron these past few days with temperatures hovering north of 40 degress C in most of the Eastern Balkans, particularly Romania - my next destination. It thankfully hasn't held me back too much, just longer more frequent breaks from sightseeing. Belgrade is a great city, potentially - and I say this with all due respect to Ljubliana - my favorite so far on my journey. It really is quite a metropolis, much more vibrant than many of the smaller capitals I have visited of late. The people are great as well, as I have had the opportunity to interact with many locals through my hostel and the girl who runs it. Im going to write more tomorrow about here, and Sarajevo, but wanted to pass along a short message to say how cool it is here, and more so, cool enough that I am extending my stay to a fourth night. Part of this though is my inability to determine where to next, either south to Montenegro, Albania, and the FYR Macedonia or more likely, to Romania and specifically Timisoaria which is just over the border from serbia maybe four hours or so. Anyway, too hot for me to think clearly right now but will be in touch soon.
