No plane flight involved, we were attempting to cycle around the world, so cycled into to Serbia from Hungary. At the time (12 , or 13 years ago) the Kosovo border wasn't stable and it was not in the news at all in the 'west'. They were not allowed to report it. It was only as we got almost to that crossing that people stopped us in the road and made us turn around. That day NATO soldiers had been given permission to open fire with live rounds on the demonstrators.
We had originally set out from our home in the UK. We emigrated to Australia a few years ago.
