Meeting MiNatasa in Nis

We wake up, slightly hang over, hungry for some solid food after all last nights strictly liquid food. Since Mina and Natasa are not in Belgrade but in Nis and that i also came here to visit them, i decide to use the last day before the concert in Skopje to visit them and take a look at this town i have only passed by. But before i need to write more stuff on my blog. I spent some time in the Internet cafe and head for the bus station. This time i try to sleep all the way, still tired from last night, i spend the whole 3 and a half hour drive half asleep half hypnotized by the shitty movie playing on th buses tv.
Arriving in Nis, i have the whole day to walk around and check out the city. I drop my bag in the shop where i get some pictures printed. A couple for Mina Natasa and Ivana, a couple for me, more postcards to send out! So i walk around this nice city, its castle and fortifications. Along its river and trough its parks. The weather is not so bad anymore Even though the temperature remains to low... Since the weather changed about a week ago, it kept raining, being gray and the temperature did not raise again, it remains under 20... Belgrade was quite different in this weather, cold and wet. People got out their coats and winter clothes, i am still running around in slippers and shorts... dont want to admit it :)
After walking around i sit down to write a couple postcard and letters, to drink a hot chocolate (what a huge one, rich and full of cream) and check my mail once again. Latter i meet Mina and Natasa in a restaurant, they were starving and sick of all the meat so they went for an Italian restaurant but did not realize the place they were recommended was so posh. I walk in, shorts and slippers, not shaved huge backpack, slightly dirty... what a sight this must have been for the waiter. I drop the bag at the entrance, get of my jacket which is taken care of by the waiter... I sit down get a handkerchief, a menu and a very respectful treatment. I feel it is a bit overdone as always in those places. But funny. I order a pizza. After eating for a very surprisingly reasonable price, we hurry out, the waiter helps me to put on my heavy back pack. I weighted it this morning, 18 kilogram altogether, 3 of them being technical stuff (computer, phone, cameras, chargers and cables). We go for the hotel, no problem at the reception, i can share the room nobody cares. Natasa is dead tired, me an Mina go out for a drink and a dance. Nis was the city with the best nightlife not so long ago. Mina knows, she has been going all around Serbia promoting drinks and cigarettes in the bars and clubs. For my part i think of Nicola who has lived here for some month before going to Pristina.
