Catching a Serbian Ferry - Day 64

Saturday 1st November 2014 - Great nights sleep. So quiet. Lovely morning looking out at the river. Another feast for breakfast. Great place, nice and relaxing and the owners are really friendly. Definitely the place to stay after making it out of Belgrade.

Can't believe it's the first of November!

Packed up (nearly had a little furry passenger with me too) and left around 11am.

Took the cycle path. Nice to have no traffic to deal with. Great being back in the countryside.

But eventually back onto the road. Quiet enough though now. Pass an area of sand dunes, Deliblatska Peščara. Google it, pretty interesting.

Looked at watch, as was getting a 2pm ferry across river from Banatska Palanka to Ram. Shit, where does the time go? Had to put the foot down for last 15km to get there on time.

Get there with 5 minutes to spare. Theres a drunk man waiting for the ferry stumbling around and falling over his bag. Resident dogs keep me amused. Start to get cold. See a sign the next ferry is at 3pm. Urgh.

Cold.

Ferry turns up, but then the guys take a half hour break. Hurry up, I'm freezing to death here.

Get over to the other side and it's nearly 4pm. Good view of the castle in Ram coming into shore.

Shop for supplies.

Wee climb up out of village, good views at top, then 20km to Srebrno Jezero.

Along the river with Romanian hills on the other side.

Getting dark, lots of hotel places and people fishing and yachts. Seems to be a resort type place. Picked one with a restaurant. 1600 Dinar for a room, about £10.

Soup and omelette, was waiting for me at a table, after I put my things in room and got changed. Gradually warm up again.
