“The boat trip at the « most beautiful part of the Fanube » wasn’t that great. I would have preferred to stop at a different small town to experience life in a Serbian village/town. Maybe talk to a host of the house ( through translator) to learn about their lives, like what they do in the winter, their traditions etc.., the boat trip was meaningless”
