We arrived in Serbia earlier than anticipated, yesterday; not that five hours on the road wasn’t a full afternoon, but… This ended up being a very good thing, since western Serbia is very remote and not many tourists must come here, as evidenced by the lack of hotels. Not closed hotels, but no hotels in small towns.

We got our SIM card at a market, pretty quickly over the border, an ATM, next and last, a hotel.  We can pay our hotel (25) in Euro, but do not know how widely Euro is accepted here, yet. The ATM gave local currency in Dinar. $20 is equal to 2,000.00 (roughly) it’s a decimal thing. WiFi is not available so far, and 3G is what we get so far.       S L O W 

We ended up driving and searching for over an hour to find a place to stay. Thank goodness for the picture of the bed on their sign, because we would not have guessed they had lodging. We thought it was only a restaurant.

We felt very lucky to have found this place, before dark, and we are quite comfortable, while we figure out where we want to go in Serbia! We stayed in this huge house, on a family farm, but easy access from the road. We hear chickens clucking, roosters crowing. and the babbling brook running. The restaurant has good food, too!
