I leave Petrovaradin behind (which I enjoyed so much as you can see in my previous episode) and walk down the cobblestone backstreets to make it to my bike.
It might look like Ireland but no, trust me, I'm still in Serbia:
I hop on my bike and cross Varadin bridge to make it to Novi Sad over Danube river:
I must admit I really like the city at first glance. I never heard of anyone speaking about Novi Sad and since Belgrade surprised me I thought that urban beauty might be over for Serbia at the moment.
I'm more than happy to say "not quite yet" as I stroll on Futoska avenue, one of the largest ones of the city:
Unfortunately I don't have the time to explore the city as I've already spent a good amount of the day on other places South of Novi Sad and I still have lots to do before the day goes dark. Plus I am on a mission to make it to a supermarket for some supplies 🙂
Still it's nice to ride the city as the traffic is not too bad and the roads have much more vegetation than I expected:
I make it to the supermarket and hungry as I am I can't resist consuming some stuff on the spot before I hit the road again. Humble things like this can feel like a whole fortune when your stomach is empty:
Feeling a little less hungry and thirsty I continue riding around:
Contrary to most of the cities where their contemporary part puts me off, here in Novi Sad I wouldn't rush to say the same - could be worse:
My point of exit from the city of Novi Sad is Liberty Bridge:
Funny how the speed distorts images:
At the South end of the bridge a pair of tunnels lead me through Kemenicki park to the other side of the hill:
Curious where I'm heading to? The answer will come soon at a next post. Till then you can enjoy a 4k video of my ride around:
See you on the next one!
P.S. Due to 503 errors many images failed to render so you see here only the "brave" ones that managed to survive.
