It was again destroyed completely in an earthquake in 1979 and then again rebuilt.…

Train from Belgrade to Bar

🇲🇪 🇲🇪 🇲🇪 The journey from Belgrade to Bar is one of the most spectacular train journeys in Europe. It's a marvel of engineering, with 254 tunnels and 435 bridges on the 296-mile journey from the Serbian capital to the Adriatic coast, Construction of the line started in the 1950s but only completed in 1976, opened by President Tito himself. The central station in Belgrade is permanently closed on July 2018 and the trains are departing from Topcider. I had problem in finding Topcider station initially, took Tram No 4 to wrong direction. After former Yugoslovia…

Belgrade

🇷🇸 🇷🇸 🇷🇸 So , It was little messed up even before it started ; I booked the trip for 4 but Anwesha decided not to come. So it was just me and my mother.

Next day we left in the morning to Beograd central station to collect my reservation ticket. Beograd central…

Iguazu falls and rain-forest

🇦🇷 🇦🇷 🇦🇷 Iguazu falls and the national reserve is divided between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. A magnificent display of over 250 cascading waterfalls, Spanning almost 3km across the borders of Argentina and Brazil, the Cataratas del Iguazú (in Spanish) or Foz do Iguacu (in Portuguese) make a splash as the largest waterfall system on the planet; step aside, Niagara. I flew to Iguazu straight from Buenos Aries . It was a long flight from all the way to London. In the peak of summer , the weather was very hot and humid. I had full 2 days…

Argentina …. Buenos Aries

🇦🇷 🇦🇷 🇦🇷 I effectively had one full day to do some sightseeing in Buenos Aries. It was too less to do any justice to this beautiful city. This city is often called Paris of South America. Stunning architecture , side walks and and cafes probably has some similarity but this place has its own rich culture . Unfortunately January is peak summer in BA and it was super hot and humid. My hotel was just opposite to the Obelix and I had a grand view from my window. My flight from Ushuaia was…
