We got on the morning train to Belgrade and had a pretty uneventful 8 hour journey, stuffed in a compartment with a lot of stinky women and children. At one point they got a boy to pee into a plastic cup, to save him the trip to the loo. He nearly made the cup overflow as we waited holding our breath.
We arrived in Belgrade to the normal big city mess. Two booths with nothing separating them, one was info and the other something else. Info was closed and in the other a lady sat, we asked her to just pass us a map from the info booth and she wouldn't. Then a hamburger stand tried to rip us off, charging $6 instead of $1. The station itself is very beautiful and when we arrived it was snowing, and the old fashioned trolley cars made the whole scene look like a Christmas card. We eventually got to the Hotel Mladost in a suburb 15 minutes away by trolley. ( We discovered that here, like in Athens it is possible to ride on the trolley and just carry an unclicked ticket and look like a dumb tourist).
