Rest day - City sightseeing
For the rest day, the organizers prepared a small excursion for the players and their accompanying persons - sightseeing with an „Open Top“ bus.
We started at 8 pm from hotel Metropol Palace, and with laughter and pleasant conversation, we headed to the streets of Belgrade.
The route was: Hotel Metropol Palace - Kneza Milosa - Bulevar Vojvode Putnika - Bulevar Prince Alexander Karadjordjevic (House of Flowers) - Dr. Milutin Ivkovic - Bulevar of Liberation - Slavija Square - King Milan – Terazije - Kolarceva - Republic Square - Vase Carapica - Students’ Square - Tadeusa Koscuska - Bulevar Vojvode Bojovica (Sava port) - Karadjordjeva-Branko's Bridge - Bulevar Mihajla Pupina - Bulevar Milutina Milankovica - Antifasisticke borbe (Antifascist struggle) - Jurija Gagarina - Ada Bridge - Vladimira Popovica- Zemun road - Brank’s Bridge Brankova - Prizrenska-Terazije - Hotel Metropol Palace.
It seemed that the players didn't mind a little fresher evening than the previous ones, so with the wind in their hair they enjoyed the ride and beautiful panorama.
The Russians enjoyed the most, it seemed. That's why we were not surprised that the hotel Moscow on Terazije Square took many breaths away. Impressive building, beautifully illuminated, caused a great excitement of the girls. The flashes were on, and everybody was trying to take the best picture of it.
After a pleasant ride lasting for an hour and a half, we arrived at the hotel Metropol Palace, and the participants left the bus with smiles on their faces, happy that they could see Belgrade from a different perspective.
We hope they enjoyed, and that they will have long and nice memories of this little city tour.
