October 2023. Tuzla. Bosnia Herzegovina. Only just gone 6pm, and we seemed to have exhausted the joys of Bosnia’s third biggest city, bar the mosques. But just beyond the central square lay one last chance at craft beer redemption for Tuzla. The Jazz Caffe (crazy name) promised local bottles in a cosy and charming outdoor… Continue reading In which we mistake a private residence for a pub, with disastrous consequences.

Gorgeous frontage, but Belgrade’s bus terminus was chaotic and fraught with tension as we tried to first find, then board,… Continue reading IT WAS ONLY, FIVE HOURS ON THE BUS TO TUZLA
BELGRADE IN A NUTSHELL
October 2023. Belgrade. Serbia. No, not THAT Nutshell. These foreign posts don’t get a lot of views because a) No-one else has been there and b) No-one else intends to go there. Oddly, it’s the unsung towns that get the most views. But in the last week I’ve referred to three posts from Ron, Duncan… Continue reading BELGRADE IN A NUTSHELL
