Good hotel breakfast then headed east. Weather was hot and heavy, but the haze kept the worst of the heat off. Crossed the Drina into Serbia, which is hundreds of meters wide here and swollen. The sultry weather and verdant landscape makes me feel like I'm crossing the Amazon. Serbia looks rough and industrial, but the town of Loznica is pleasant. I went into a Lidl, complete with piles of cheap power tools and kids clothes, a strange disorienting experience after weeks of small shops.

Headed up into the hills to avoid the worst of the traffic, past villages full of large wooden chicken coops, and made camp in the woods. The weather is not great for camping, still heavy and mosquitoes are out in force, but I found a tiny steam and felt much better after washing away the sweat and grime of the day.

The mosquitos abated and the wood filled with firefly.
