Yugoslavia in October 2000, part one

This is Vojvodina as I love it: slow, flat and peaceful.

On the first photo is Tisza. On the second, the geese that graze on Tisza's banks.

The supplies are ready for the winter:

 

And this is Novi Sad, as Ivana and I saw it:

 

This was a rare occasion: I had the opportunity to be together with my two best friends Sara and Ivana at the same time.

Ivana lives in New Zealand, so this is the first time we could be all together in a long long time. And who knows when the next occasion will be...

 

Some more photos by Ivana: our Strand in the afternoon, and the remains of Most Slobode.

Our dear family friends Mira and Zoran Bajic.

And with old friends at Trema.

Our relatives family Kucera in their home, where Sanji-baci has a well equipped wine and brandy distillery in his cellar. Home-made brandy and wine are a big thing in this part of the world, and people pride themselves on their rakija or palinka.

It is made from big quantities of fruit and it is *very* strong. It is the unavoidable welcome gesture, and Andreas was under more or less constant shower of welcome as we often visited several home a day. As a woman I can be excused, but there are no excuses for a guy.

Sara with her dancing students, and her husband Jevdja.
