Another first as our lads make a stop in Serbia. & what’s more, Novi Sad is not, I repeat, NOT, another village. It’s, in fact Serbia second largest city.
Situated on the banks of the river made famous by Johann Strauss II back before it turned a sort of sludge brown colour, Novi Sad is the location of the Petrovaradin Fortress that hosts the Exit festival on its grounds.
The fortress itself has been a regular target for the Turkish who have had a few goes at destroying it until the Austrians successfully held them off in the 18th century. Further work went into strengthening & modernising, &, according to the bloke down the pub, they got some cowboy in to do the clock & he totally horsed it up, connecting the big hand & little hand back to front so the little hand points to minutes & the big hand points to hours. Once the problem was discovered Clocks Я Us refused to fix it on the grounds it had been signed off & so it has been since passed off as a landmark. This is important for those of you wanting to know stage times for The Cure. (20:30 will look a bit like 17:40)
On my search for famous Serbs, there is that tennis bloke that keeps winning stuff but, & I think more interestingly, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Leeloo from the Fifth Elephant & Alice from Resident Evil share a Serbian father. Beat that Novak!
Making the trip to the fortress we have curebelgrade , faith , pillowman & monghi who have enjoyed some delicious Sarma followed by a few slices of Vasina torta washed down with plenty of Zaječarsko pivo (which is about the hardest one to pronounce).
Let’s hope they all have a terrific time.
Colours for this one…mmmm the Novi Sad flag is very blue while the festival has more enticing colours….. decisions decisions…
