Back in the good ole USA!


After we got back from Novi Sad we only had a few days left in Belgrade and then it was time to head home.  The last few days were bitter sweet and we tried to fit in all of our last souvenir shopping, museum visits and one last group outing on a boat curse. 

 First we visited the Museum of Yugoslavia that exemplified the growth of technology in Yugoslavia.  There were many graphs that showed the growth of the use of radios, televisions and vehicles over the years.  The second part of the museum displayed Olympic history and articles from the 1984 Olympics that took place in Sarajevo, BiH which was then Sarajevo, Yugoslavia.

Tito's Grave!



Tesla Museum.  Nikola Tesla was a Serbian inventor mostly in the areas of electricity.  He is best know for his contribution to modern alternating current (AC).  Tesla also lived in the United States for a while where he invented the first remote controlled boat!

Lastly we went to the Belgrade Military Museum, which was located at the Fortress!

Before the boat cruise we said farewell to our Serbian friends at the Mexican Restaurant that we frequently visited.



Our final night on the boat cruise was a great way to wrap up our trip!
