Amazing Train Trip, from Bar

Last day in Belgrade
After arriving in late from Bar, this time a twelve hour journey, punctuated by stops for unknown reasons of varying lengths of time. The same chap that had wished me a welcome to Montenegro was again checking my passport at the border. Hello , he says , its me again, did you enjoy Montenegro?
I was blown away that he should remember . So I had to add that I had enjoyed it veey much. He says now you will have to come back next year! If only I thought I could, who knows?
I was starting to get very sick of eating my small croissants with caramel and other fillings. they are very nice in small quantities. I would rather a filled roll but with the heat, fresh food I feel is at risk so I only buy things think will handle the heat and a backpack . KIT KATS don’t like either!
Once the canyons had disappered I settled back into playing with the ipad.
This attracted the attention of some small boys who kept running down to my seat and just staring at me, most kids do anyway so that in its self wasn’ t a bother but you could see them also looking at the computer. ignoring them I purposely changed to Tom cat and pretended to play with him, all the while watching them out of the corner of my eye. You see the sheer fascination on their faces, so I put Tom in front of them and had to show them how to touch the screen. The littlest lad about 6 conttoned on very quickly and soon was belting the hell out of Tom. The older boys a bit slower, so they all had turns. After some time I said it was my turn and they were happy to go back to where they came from somewhere further up the carriage. Half an hour later the two older kids came back, one really the spitting image of one of my grandchildren. So I showed them other games I had , I only have 5 apps for games just really for the grandchildren but yes, I play too!
Of them, they ended up playing Angry birds and played happily together each taking a turn. It was after getting the same screen every time , I had to show them the score they had to beat to move on to the next screen. They didn’t speak english and I have no idea what language they were speaking, chances were high that it was serbian! Once they realised that they were away! It was getting close to Belgrade by now and time to put the ipad away, wouldn’t have lasted much longer in any case, therenwas just 11% battery power left on it. The kids had a lot of fun, children around the 9-10 age group are good kids. Tom has been a hit with the children around the world.
Train arrival into Belgrade an hour late, but I was amazed at the crowds of people and the piles of luggage the platform waiting for the night train to Sofia. The train I would be catching tomorrow night. A quick walk from the station to the hostel as it was essentially dark, but the streets I had to go were reasonably well lit so I wasn’t overly concerned. After being got at by the thief while in Bar, my confidence has taken a little bit of a hit. It was good to be welcomed back to the hostel and my room ! Tiny though it was it was mine for the night. A cup of camomile tea and something to eat saw me hitting the sack fairly quickly.
