Postcards from Serbia

Today there was another great surprise in my post box!
Three postcards from Serbia, send by my friend Saša :)


 There were two cards from the old RAM fortress, located on the Danube River
The cards show us situations in both the winter and the summer,
and I think they are both equally nice :)
When would you go?



The final card is a nice view of Sremski Karlovci, 
a small city near the capital Novi Sad
This card is really big, about twice as big as a normal postcard! :D


So many stamps on my envelope! :p
On one of the cards, there was a map from Serbia


Thank you Saša for this great swap! <3

A funny card from Christmas Island

This awesome postcard was send by Amanda from Christmas Island
It's my first card from there, so it's very special to me :)


On the card we see a bunch of 'Gecarcoidea natalis', also known as Red crabs
These sort of crabs live only on Christmas Island

An interesting fact about them: they have such a hard skeleton that they can even
break a car's tire! That's why rangers on Christmas Island build fences along heavily 
traveled roads to prevent people from driving over a red crab

Even the postmark shows a crab! :)
Do you have a special animal that only lives at your place?
In Belgium, we have some special breeds of cows, chickens, horses and dogs
But my favourite? It's the 'Flemish Giant-rabbit' :)

Thank you Amanda for this colourfull postcard! I just love it! :)
