I think I can legitimately say that the last two days have been the best two days I have ever spent in Belgrade. Why? Well, let’s go on a 30km bicycle journey to find out! So Thursday came around again, and Thursday means one thing. Sausage. Only this Thursday (do days have to have capital … Continue reading »

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Not Seeing Metallica.
So I saw Metallica. I didn’t want to see Metallica. I detest Metallica. I will go on record as saying they are possibly the most overrated band in all of the world. They are so incredibly boring, it is unreal. I just don’t get it. Every song sounds like it was constructed in the amount … Continue reading »
The best atmosphere in European Football?
Believe it or not, but Belgrade was once home to the winners of the European Cup, the competition that would become the Champions League. Not only that, but the football they played on the run to the final is widely spoken of in awe by those in the know. Serbian football has gone downhill since … Continue reading »
My Super Dobro Time in Austria by John Bills featuring Eric Wiedemann and various other hilarious characters.
So I went to Austria for the weekend. I had only ever been to Austria for a total of 6 hours, in 2007, so what I was going to see as a solid mystery to me. (Rhyme). As I boarded the night train from Beograd, I played around with images in my mind as to … Continue reading »

No ordinary sausage…
Look at me! A good little tourist! The church behind me by the way is the Cathedral of Saint Sava, the largest church in the Balkans and one of the 10 biggest in the world. It is pretty darn massive, and pretty darn glorious. The picture is relevant (honest) as today is the Orthodox Easter, … Continue reading »
The Most Important Country I Have Ever Visited.
In the last post I mentioned that Slovenia was possibly the most important country I have ever visited in my life. In a way, this could easily be misconstrued as some usual Bills hyperbole. ‘Aw, it’s the best ever!’, ‘it’s my favourite!’, etcetera, etcetera. Well, with regards to future decisions and future movement and … Continue reading »
Rakija is my kryptonite, cevapcici is my spinach.
07-04-2012 – Kranj, Slovenia Aw, back to the travel blog is it? The more things change, the more they stay the same. It’s been 5 days and I couldn’t possibly document every single thing that has happened. I certainly couldn’t document all the people I have met and I’m very sorry to anyone I don’t … Continue reading »
