From Hrtkovci, we started heading East towards Belgrade. It's always difficult navigating into a large city so we weren't looking forward to cycling into Belgrade, but actually it wasn't so bad.

By now it was mid June and the heat of the day was growing increasingly longer, for this reason we'd agreed to leave Vladimir's house at 7am, avoiding the high temperatures, and allowing us to cycle a fairly long day, 80km, to Novi Sad.
Hello everyone. Sorry we're so slow at keeping this blog up to date, we have some catching up to do, so next few blogs needs to be short – but hopefully sweet.
We said goodbye to the Fodors and to Hungary, with only 25km left till reaching the Serbian border, we were looking forward to exploring a new country.
I should begin this blog with an apology for the recent lack of updates on my behalf. For those who don’t know, we’ve been home now for 6 months and I have only just found the frame of mind in which I feel comfortable to write again.
My brother, Nick, and his girlfriend, Carla, had booked a 3 week holiday to the Philippines to visit Carla's family at the end of January and I'd actually planned a much later arrival to coincide with them. When Carla found out Radka had gone home she realised I'd be alone for Christmas and suggested I should go one month earlier to spend it with her family. I'd set my mind on cycling to Vietnam but decided it would be really nice to meet her family and spend such a long time with them. It turned out to be a great decision :) I spent two months there in total.
So Radka was at home and I flew off to the Philippines for two months to spend time with my sister-in-law's family. Here are some of the cool things I noticed whilst there.
