travelling - with a nice surprise
Sometimes you're in for a nice surprise when it comes to travel.
This week-end I discovered Belgrade, capital of Serbia, a large city right in the heart of the Balkan.
Not only that the weather was sensational (30° C, dry, sunny with a light breeze), the city belied its critics of a run-down left over from the communist era.
Sure, you still see many wounds from the glorious communist past that saw beautiful building crumble and created an urban nightmare architecture - but Belgrade has become a vibrant city brimming with life and full of optimism.
Walking up the long city centre to the old castle fortifications, I discovered young city and nice people, always ready to help the forlorn tourist.
I'll be coming back!

Travelling to the Third Reich
Some days ago I was travelling in the Eastern part of Germany.
I stayed in a hotel, located charmingly among lush green hills close to the former border that divided Eastern and Western Europe.
When I entered the building - though renovated and modernized - I felt like walking back in time. The building dated back to the Third Reich and with its sculpted granite columns and solid forged lamp holders it still breathed the spirit of an area that idolized the supremacy of the Aryan race.
I quickly found out that the building once had been a training ground for young engineers to be schooled for the maintenance of the German Luftwaffe, during WWII a BMW plane factory was operated close-by.
In my vivid mind I imagined these young, eager men (and yes, even a few women), swarming what then must have been their dining hall and dormitories. Jokes and laughter must have been flying around, maybe a secret kiss exchanged in the surrounding forests.
Sad to know that many of them must have become victims of a regime that fed its children to the most brutal war the world has ever witnessed.
My only hope is that those men and women who hold power now, don't forget what only happened two generations ago.
