The day started with a low overcast changing to a high, thin overcast with sunny breaks by late afternoon. We had a couple of very light rain showers during the day, but nothing that slowed us down. We encountered another couple of light showers on the drive home in the evening.
I had planned a later start for this morning, but, because we are an hour away, we had to depart at 8:30. We arrived in Plandiste, where I had planned to withdraw the money for the cemetery from the automated teller in time for a 10 am meeting. However, the power was off again and we had to arrange to try again later in the day on our way back.
Some people wanted to search the cemetery some more and others wanted to walk the streets and look for houses, so we did those things until noon. Then we went on to Vrsac. After our bathroom and snack breaks, Stasa led us on tours of the town museum and a pharmacy museum as well as the town centre. Just as we arrived at the locked doors of St. Gerhadt Cathedral, who should appear but the organist/vocalist from yesterday’s mass. Somebody really is watching out for us. He opened the church for us and even gave a short impromptu concert for us on the magnificent organ. Then we drove part way up the hill to take some pictures of the town below before heading back at about 4 pm.
On the way back we got a little bit of a scare. The police flagged us down as we were going through the village of Boka. We were sure we had done nothing wrong, but we were concerned anyway. The policeman asked a few questions and sent us on our way. We concluded that these must be the same guys who were stopping cars in Georgshausen for the past couple of days. After seeing us drive by two or three or more times in different directions. Eventually they just had to stop us and find out what those crazy Germans on the tour bus were up to.
We arrived back at the hotel at about 6:30 and ate another fabulous meal at 7:30.
