DAY 113

17.04.2017 Leskovac - Crcavac, Serbia. The march left the city of Leskovac and headed south. The maps in Balkans not always correspond to reality and following a minor route we find ourselves trapped in the middle of thick forests. The steep and muddy road could only be crossed with a AWD car. So we drove as far as possible and organized a temporary camp. We prepared launch and a fire place. Accommodation place was nearby, on a farm. After recent luxurious acommodation conditions this cold and rainy weather in the middle of nowhere was truely adventerous.
The group was about 25 people.

Clara (Austria) learning how to drive a big VW Transporter car with a trailer filled with marcher's backpacks. Named cute "Habibi" it wasn't a real honey do drive. Engine not strong enough to handle heavy load, constant gear and suspension issues made driving of this car a real challange. Espsecially for an unexperienced driver and on Serbian roads. But at the end, isn't our flaws that makes us special and loved?

Seems nothing special but if you were part of logistics team, you usually missed marching. Passing the walking group from the car on the way to lunch break and greeting the march from Habibi gave a lot of joy. You could see how much different is it to march a 10km piece in two hours and to drive it by car in 5 minutes.
