Driving through the country

Today I took a lot of pictures (which is pretty normal though) but today was such a great day in many aspects so I simply can’t choose just a few. Since I’ve never been visiting to this part of the world before, every turn on the road is somewhat breathtaking, especially in the mountains in the afternoon when the sun is on it’s way to set. We didn’t get very far today (I think less than 200 km) because we stopped pretty often to – YES, to take pictures 🙂

One of all towns/villages we passed through.

We were looking for a place in some small village to stop for a coffe and an icecream but we only found a small shop. It turned out to be a very nice stop because as normal people come up to you and want to talk and are curious.

It’s just so nice to talk to the locals.

This is Svetislav and his Hungarian wife Luiza who runs the shop and lives in the same house. They have a garden on the other side of the street were they grow all sorts of vegetables. They wanted us to have some and gave us a bunch of apples and some chilis. Steve also has a few bikes and I guess that’s why he came up and talked to us in the first place. He spoke more french than english so I got to practice a little (I’m NOT good at french but know a few words). Luiza spoke a little english though.

Le shop au Lepenac

Steves paintings and “grandpa”.

Here it is

Ines is their daoughters name and Lepenac is the name of the village. They gave us a cup of turkish coffee too outside the shop. The Serbs we have met are all very friendly and want’s to share things with you.

They gave us all this fruit and some chilis too! We pretended it was a birthday present for me so I got in the picture as a change 🙂

I wonder if this guy has checked his front end bearings lately 😉

Time to hit the road again…
