Serbia: Trip to Soko Grad - St. Nicholas Monastery

Today we decided to visit Soko Grad - St. Nicholas Monastery near Gračanica, Ljubovija. Aleksandra, Nemanja, Nada and me were the crew and since I forgot my driving license at home, Nada drove us around. We found the monastery, we also found a climbing resort, but nothing was marked, so we gave up our climbing idea.

On our way back to Bosnia and Herzegovina we had minor problems on the border. The entry stamps in our passports were not visible, so the police officer started to complicate, mentioning the court, and complaining about my water friendly passport, but in the end he let us go. He obviously had nothing better to do.

We ended the day near Drina river. We wanted to do some boating, unfortunately nobody wanted to rent a boat to us
