Trixie goes to Serbia


Hi guys,
This year I wanted to celebrate Xmas in a different way.
My friend Jasna invited me to her hometown, Novi Sad, in Serbia, to have some trekking on mountains (Fruska Gora & Zlatibor) she loves so much.
I discovered they celebrate Xmas on 7th of January so, this year I had a double Xmas (but not double presents...), also discovered about a celebration Serbs have: it's is called Slava.
It is the 20th of December and another friend of mine told me half Serbs celebrate this while the other half visit who celebrate this.

In particular, she also told me, it seems that children, the night before Slava, use to clean all family shoes so the very next day they find them filled with sweets. Very nice.
Being a globetrotter brings you closer and closer to all other cultures, I love it!




Not sure about trekking, maybe I'd better biking.













Ok, and trekking will be.













I knew I would get in some troubles...













HeeeEEELP !!














So windy I needed to fasten seat belts.
