Once everyone woke up Marko took us all on a little walking tour of Belgrade. We went through the downtown and the girls demanded to go shopping for shoes among other things. The downtown area was quite nice and bustling. From downtown we walked to the old fortress which overlooks the Danube. Both Red Star and Partizan, the two big professional sports clubs in the city, have youth courts on the grounds fort too which is pretty cool. We had a little photo shoot on the wall that overlooks the river then headed over to a café and enjoyed the latter part of the afternoon.

We went back to the apartment, washed up, then headed to Hotel Balkan where most of Aleks' friends had just arrived from the States. We all shot the shit for a bit and headed back to the fortress to get a feel for how it was at night. From there we headed out to a club. All the big clubs are actually barges in a fairly out of the way place on the Danube. This serves 2 purposes as far as I can tell. For one they are able to be as loud as they possibly want to be, and secondly they don’t really have any issues as far as square footage is concerned since they are on the water. We all had a table and had a great time going through a few bottles.
