I awoke knowing that I still had to decide what I was going to do that day. Having spoken to my brother the night before, who had told me pretty much that I had done enough and to get the train into Bucharest. I decided to do exactly that and spent the morning sorting out the rest of my trip. I booked my flight home, went and bought my train ticket, confirming that I could take my bike on the train, yes.

I awoke to thunder and rain. The storm came over from Serbia as I was eating my dinner last night and hadn't wanted to move on. I was eating my dinner outside by the river when all of a sudden such a wind blew up and blew everything off the table.

So I cycled out of Belgrade quite relaxed thankfully. Sundays seem to be market day however, and as I rode out of the city I rode into ...

Slept well but woke up wondering what plan I should be making. First stop, breakfast, dire coffee again. Then set out to do some sight-seeing around Belgrade. I headed straight for the castle front and the view down to the Danube. The castle was actually very nice and had fantastic views of the Danube and Drava rivers.
