Leaving Belgrade was the normal city challange but after crossing the Danube a right turn took us a few miles along a roughish dyke top....OK in the dry. The rest of the day was smooth fairly quiet main roads only punctuated by Carol succumbing to the heat and needing an emergency cafe stop and cold water head refreshment....well it must have been a shadeless 34c so its not too surprising. Covered 61m the last 5k of which on a bumpy canalside made more interesting by passing a few feet away from a guy having a crap in the open!
Stopped over at a Guesthouse to await the 0800 ferry accross the river...no push slipways here...just shovel some gravel so the cars don't bottom out when they drive on!
This afternoon started through the Iron Gates the border between Romania and Serbia and the divide between the Carpathian Mountains and Balkan Peninsula. Scenic pleasant riding....the first for a week
Tomorrow we'll continue through the gorges...and the 21 tunnels!!!!
Clive....I'm not sure this is about stamina..more a futile attempt to get fit enough to keep up with you, Martin and Ivan! I think it may be easier just to blame my bike in future!
