Serbia, the beautiful and friendly- Part 1

Greetings fellow steemers. Sorry for my short absence, but my wife Melissa and I just got back from Serbia. It was wonderful, beautiful scenery, great food, and the friendliest people you will ever meet. We went there to buy a cottage, and we are so happy we did. We flew to Venice and drove to Sombor, Serbia, which enabled us to take in a lot of countryside.

This part of Serbia is in the province of Vojvodina, which was part of the Austro Hungarian empire from 1699 to 1918. This had a big influence on the architecture and culture of the region. The population is 66% Serbian and 13% Hungarian, which are the 2 largest ethnic groups, but my friend Neven said there are about 15 different ethnic groups.

Day 1: Sombor

We had a lot of fun on day 1 just walking around exploring Sombor.

Here we are together

Neven recommended this restaurant to us it's called Stari Slon. It was Excellent and reasonably priced. We wasted a lot of food because we had no idea how large the servings were.

So just how many pictures of me are you planning to take?

Answer: a lot more. It's only day 1 after all and you never get tired of smiling.
