Going to Jabuka

1.5..First of May, day for love, says Czech poet K.H.Mácha, remembering Czech believe to kiss under the blossoming cherry, in order to have happy life, which we did not realise, running uphill to see Saxon castle instead, where also famous Vlad Dracula was living. To be honest, it is place, washed out by turistic industry and even the atmosphere is directed by German order and system of circulation around historical buildings, because here is the borderline between Saxons, and Hungarian Sikuli tribe. Our journey to south was long and demanding, mainly because of sudden changes of the surface of the roads. It was somehow evident, that the mosaic- mixture of the nations and historical events around became imprinted to the surface of the road. Presence of Roman Empire, or better its Latin colony was supported by whiteness of the marmor fragments and also stone quarry around the road. Bysantine diversity was hanging in the air as loundry on a line. Suddenly we took off the main road ``Via Romana``walking, followed by local dog, we reached top of little hill, where white bearded orthodox monk was lit by sun, opened generously the church to us. Mosaic, of the materials, used for this local juwell signed something, yet we did not know, that we are standing on a place connected directly with Cyril and Method, who were resting here, to accumulate energy after demanding crossing of frozen Danube river and mountains white with snow. On the walls of this orthodox church were Cyrilic inscripts , hidden among icons and decorations. None of us wanted to leave this strong place. This place kept us in its hands. Our next horizons waved by Banat area, inhabited by Czech community since 1830. We were forced to separate later, as our Romanian guide Agnes was not allowed to enter the Serbia without visa? This was really sad end of our rich travel through Romania, prepared by her with sense of historic connections, but this is the reality of present borderlines, and relations inside and outside European Union. ``Kick him –Serbia-. out of the circle?.``.. says Czech game for kids. Late evening we found ourselves hurrying to Jabuka village in Vojvodina, where we were already awaited.
