Good afternoon, welcome back to the channel! Welcome to the easternmost part of Serbia.
This is Negotin, a small town strategically located in between the border of Romania as well as Bulgaria.
I arrived here yesterday after riding two days consecutively,
and decided to stay overnight just because I need a bit of rest.
This town itself I think it's quite famous within the
amongst the local tourists or the surrounding neighbourhood.
The park is located strategically in the centre of the town and within this park itself as you can
see there are plenty of benches. Overlooking this park there is also a landmark for the town itself
which is the church, the water fountain, lots of pigeons. I think it's quite beautiful and
the spring colours make it even more lovely to the eyes. This is the statue of a Serbian hero you would
say because he is famous to defend this part of the country against the Ottoman empire.
The town itself is located strategically only 18 kilometres away from the closest border and I think this is
a perfect getaway place for tourists to come because of the mild temperature.
If you look at the building they have quite a significant type of architecture that you would find around Serbia.
If I'm not mistaken this kind of architecture is called Astro-Hungarian.
Sometimes over more adventure travel, there's also a joy in simple travel such as this, appreciating the
small towns and also benches while the sun is warming up like this.
If I'm being honest I don't feel the best today because I haven't had good and deep sleep for
the past couple of nights. I had nightmares last night. This is also a good message that
sleep is essential especially when you're riding and when you're driving.
I mean sleep in general is very important but during times like this and especially when you
travel alone you rely so much on yourself and a sense of focus when riding like this.
I just flew the drone over this beautiful landscape the contrast of
green colour as well as creme it looks pretty. I am heading
to I think, it's called Rajač if I'm not mistaken. It's an old winery site.
I don't think I even mentioned where are we heading to. Today's plan supposedly
is going to Zaječar (Зајечар) and the final destination supposedly Knjazevac (Књажевац).
Oh, that's a huge hole!
Lots of patchworks. It looks like this area is wine cellars.
Oooh, look at this!
On the review, it says the road was so bad, someone said, the road to this winery cellar.
I was expecting a really bad road but coming from the Asian region
I think we sort of know what bad road is like haha!
I hope you feel the sense of excitement regardless of my exhaustion today.
Oh, look at these flowers! Oh, bright colours! Oh, what a lush bumpy ride.
Oh wow, this is beautiful!
I suppose this way? Oh yes, it's here!
Finally, I have arrived at the wine cellars (Rajac (Рајац)) I don't quite understand because
it looks like there are several houses like this. These are old houses that
that was used to do the winemaking tradition.
Please, sit down. Oh, thank you!
Belo (white)wine, black wine. Belo, just a little bit because I am driving.
Živeli (Cheers in the Serbian language)
What is (your) name? Syifa Syifa (pronounced as she-fa)
Mira. Sladjan.
Good? Good, yes very good!
Very good, very good! Very good!
I think they are trying to show this..
This is the Easter (Egg) tradition
Oh, oh! Eat, eat!
Indonesia, Jakarta! Yes.. Wowww, awesome.
What is years? (How old are you?) Age? Uh, 29. Mira?
Six, seven, eight, nine. Fifty-nine.
Fifty-nine? Woah, you look young!
I think Mira is so excited knowing that I am from Indonesia and she is so proud to say
"Indonesia, Indonesia!"
Da, da, da (yes yes yes)
Look at these (wine cellars)! Everything right here is pretty, so pretty!
Oh welcome! Ah, thank you!
We also have friends in your country. Yeah? Yes!
I think what Mira is trying to show me is these old cemeteries.
Oh, look at the details!
That one I think she is trying to show that people come here often for photography.
Like these carvings, with these details.
What it turns out to be, according to her this ancient cemetery
All of these very unique type of cemetery belongs to the Celtic tribe.
It's not confirmed but according to her because she's originally from here, as in Mira, and she said that this is not how
their people or people from the village or where she is from which is around this area
as to how they are buried.
Mira is taking me to this particular viewpoint I think,
because she is basically saying that this is her village.
My village my village! Yes, your village Mira!
Oooh, lepo (beautiful)! Beautiful, beautiful.
Hvala (thank you), Mira!
She is so excited in introducing everything.
She's taking me to this, oh that's pretty! So idyllic.
Being surrounded by small forests. Village is Rajačke
Rajač? Aaah, Rajač. Rajačke. That's how you pronounce it.
Beautiful, extremely beautiful! Oh, the drone will be so nice right here.
This is the back end of the wine cellar.
Water the water water water water
Happy to help me! Mira is happy
Mira is Rajač.
My village is Rajač.
Yes, yes. She's a good ambassador to her village, I suppose.
*They insisted on giving me wine which I first rejected since I didn't have enough space in my luggage. They insisted on giving the wine in a smaller bottle*
Prijatno (Well wishes) Goodbye.
Thank you so much!
So we have arrived at the town of Zaječar (Зајечар).
Let's see if there is any restaurant.
Aah, sandwich. Zdravo (hello)! Sandwich?
Gyros. Yes, please!
I am just so very grateful for the scene behind me.
This is some part of the town of Zaječar. My way is going in this direction.
This is the extent to the town, I think. I am taking slightly off
the main road just because so that it's more scenic.
Can you see all of these? Ah, it's beautiful it's so vastly clear!
and the weather is perfect for this view. All of these mountains surrounding it.
It's incredible and it's also quiet. (I am) alone! Ah, the solitude!
Look at these rocky hills! Wowza!
Do you see what I see? Do you see that? It's crazy!
We're a bit off on the bumpy roads, but look at these rocky hills!
This is incredible!
Zdravo (hello!)
I love this kind of you know nooks and crannies of each place.
The good thing is that these roads are in low altitude which means it's not next to the
mountain or off the cliff because if it's so, it'll be too dangerous and too difficult to tackle.
On the Google maps, I tried so hard to choose this road but it doesn't want to recommend this road at all!
(Now) I understand why!
But because I'm coming to basically ride, experience the joy of this,
Why not?!
Look at that background!
Oh so humbling to know, how tiny space is in this world that you occupy.
(I didnt expect to see a sharp curve on this dirt road)
Oh, woo hoo hoo! (What a scary situation yet a huge relief)
Oh, my sore thumb! Can I say that was an actual offroad (dirt road) journey.
I was just trying to be focused on getting things right.
Oh, my heartbeat!
Oh there are moments that I was just like oh I don't know if I can do this.
It took probably about six kilometres out of that kind of road. I didn't know what I was I signed up for!
Ah, this is definitely not for the faint of heart. This kind of journey definitely!
