Getting more bite out of Serbia

Not my idea of a holiday but dental tourism is big in Serbia. Tourists requiring expensive dental treatments from US and Europe find it cheaper to fly here, have a holiday and get their teeth fixed. Despite being a reluctant dental patient here I am in a dental chair in full view of the waiting room with a Serbian dentist leaning over me. Last night a big chunk of an incisor tooth fell off. Fortunately the nerve was not exposed. Ten painless minutes and a payment of a meagre $28 later problem solved.

We are in Subotica right at the top of Serbia across from the border with Hungary. It’s a very Hungarian city with a pretty Old Town to amble aimlessly around and take in the ambience.
