... this time from Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree, searching for "Serbia" in the Europe - Eastern Europe and the Caucasus branch.
The useful threads I found there were:
- Moving to Belgrade
Places to stay in Zagreb, Sarajevo and Belgrade
Belgrade and Serbia back on the tourist map
Novi sad
Tips for travel to Serbia
And the online goodies I tracked down from those included:
Why? Off to Belgrade in April for Tea's christening.

Phil spotted a large 2-bed flat in Bunyan Court on the Hamilton Brooks website on Monday night, and I set up a viewing for 4.20pm yesterday afternoon. After a bit of a dither and a bit of a chat with one of the estate agents in the office, we made an offer. Eeek!
And at just gone midday, Nicola "Hamilton Brooks" called to say that the seller had accepted. Eeek #2!!!
This is it.
For years people have told me of the gourmet delights on offer at Borough Market, but it's taken me 9 years [1] to get there. Not really a case of "well worth the wait" as it's an amazing place, albeit a bit crowded at 2pm on a spring Saturday. The whole place is very photogenic and we've been enjoying our tasty purchases over the rest of the weekend. It's not cheap mind you.....
Whilst I don't consider myself to meet the anoraky trainspottery stereotype, my dad's passion for mechanical engineering has obviously had an influence on me (unless it's in my shorts). I've spent two very happy Saturdays discovering more about London transport and the modern history of the mighty metropolis at London Transport Museum in Covent Garden, and at their Depot in Acton Town.
Having enjoyed an afternoon at the main Covent Garden museum with Phil who took most of these photos, I rendezvoused with Tom and Barney yesterday lunchtime for a day Down at Depot rounded off with Barney and I taking the tube and the train and the bus back to Crouch End (via the Model Shop in Holborn.....). Some of these photos are Barney's.
