Tuesday

Our breakfast is as described previously, i.e. largely nourishing, and we are able to start our first hiking starting from the restaurant. We walk through the forest up to a wonderful view of the valley and we come back up to the church where Marco, a volunteer managing the old monastery area,  welcomes us with a turkish coffee……and of course, the rakia, it is already better than the yesterday’s one, we are becoming serbian guys.

And then, through a very nice path in the forest, we stop in a lovely place for our pic-nic prepared “à la carte”, by the restaurant (delicious, of course !).

Then,  Dado drives us to a church under construction along a very narrow road, and as it is late to start a walk up to the medieval fortress ruins, Dado drives us on a cahotic road, his friend told him that he takes  this road every day…..with his tractor…Dado is a champion !

After our visit, some of us decide to hike and on our way, women are cropping raspberries and we ask them if we can do a small picking, but they want to give us their picking ! so cute, but we cannot accept, and it’s so amazing to pick and eat and eat and pick, isn’t it ?……

On our way….a dangerous snake is as afraid as us ! just some milliseconds to take the picture.

Going back to our restaurant…..and of course rakia before a consequent meal (paprika farci and cheese) and dessert, on Sandrine’s wish, pancakes with jam !!
A well-scheduled and -filled day, and going back to our chalet for a tisane and a good night.
