After the party (14163) and a short night, Nada and me did another tour in Belgrade. We explored the Skadarlija street and walked around the Beogradska tvrđava (Belgrade Fortress). In the afternoon we picked up Alfred and we returned back to our home country.

The history of Skadarlija began in 1830 with the settlement of Gypsies in the abandoned trenches in front of the ramparts.
