Day 5 - Mmm-h-mm I want to Linger

Image
 Sadly, today was our last day:( . We had a lovely breakfast and  went on a walk around the pedestrians centre of Belgrade where we were able to do some last minute shopping. After grabbing a quick sandwich, we walked back to our hostel for our end of trip ceremony. We sang 'Linger', handed out badges and cried as we shared of the memories of our trip. We also had an amazing ceremony to celebrate each and every guide/ranger got told how many nights away we did and the leaders kindly gave us all a badge. We are so grateful we were able to go on this trip thank you to all the people who helped organise it we hope to go on many more.  After our closing ceremony, it was time to head to the airport.After a bit of confusion with Edda's ticket, we were all checked in and made our way through security.  We didn't have much time before boarding but managed to squeeze in some essential snacks for the flight.  Boarding the plane we securitized to find it was a smaller plan...

Day 4 - The Sargan Eight, Drvengrad and Zlatibor

Image
 Today we went on a fantastic journey through different parts of Serbia and through it's great mountains. We travelled by coach and train with our fabulous tour guide, Mikhal. Although our coach journeys were slightly tedious, it was all worth it for the amazing scenery and memories that we made. After our first coach ride, we had a lovely lunch at a restaurant by the station. It was very fancy with delicious food including a traditional Serbian soup and an Apple pastry for pudding.  We then went on a train ride around the mountains. Then, we went to the stunning wooden village of Drvengrad  which showcases buildings made from natural materials - stone and wood.  After exploring there and making friends with a kitten, we headed to the town of Zlabitor to find dinner by the lake. For dinner, we were all able to pick whatever we wanted from the different stands!!! Olivia and Maddie Today we went to Western Serbia. It was a really mountainous place and our tour guide, M...

Day 3 - Exploring Kalemegdan

Image
 Today was amazing. We walked to a fortress first, where we were allowed to wander. I took lots of photos of the wonderful scenery as we were on a large hill, so we could see for miles. There were a couple of lakes, a few fields, but LOADS of trees. It was green as far as the eye could see. After an hour or so, (which passed really quickly) we gathered our things and walked to the zoo.😁 Adah  At the zoo, we were had a couple of hours to walk around after lunch. We saw a large variety of animals including monkeys, bears, chickens, ostriches, giraffes, lions, tigers, penguins, crocodiles, seals, and lots more. Me and my friends had a great time. Harriet also made her promise by the Lions which was fairly cool!  After the zoo, we got a trolley bus back to the hostel and some people went to the supermarket to buy dinner and some snacks. Then we ate a yummy chilli con carne for dinner!! Faye Today was amazing! When we went to the fortress, we didn't spend our time like we tho...

Day 2 - Let's go to the Beach

Image
 Today was great! We started off the day with a hearty breakfast at a local cafe.  After, we had some free time to prepare for the day ahead. At roughly 10:30 we headed off to the beach! We had to take 2 busses which were very busy and then walked for 10 minutes to get to the beach.  However it wasn't just any beach, it was a lake beach. When we were at the lake most of us went into the water,which was very cold, and had lots of fun. Some of us stayed in the water for a couple of minutes, some of us wherein it for an hour!  After a great time splashing about, we ordered our lunch at a near by stall and ate them on the rocks. Then we headed to Lidl where most of us got a few treats.  We then headed back home at had a lovely dinner made by the leaders. Some of us played salad (eating salad) with Maddy and then we went to bed slightly later than we were meant to! By Olivia Today was great 👍 we walked to breakfast : I had French toast 🍞- it was lovely .  Then...
