Titos grave and a few good nights out

Went to see Tito's grave. Much more low key than any of the other dictators graves. No guards or formality, just a marble sun room and a lot of plants. The huge history museum next door is empty and closed (seems to be a trend). We took the bus there and NO ONE paid when they got on or off (so we road for free). We went to the fortress and strolled until there sun set. All the parks in the Balkans teem with people. It's wonderful to see public space actually being used by the public, we don't appreciate our greenspace enough at home.

We tried the night life again and were much more successful. Found a cool club down a street full of abandoned buildings. We ended up hitting most of the clubs on the block, surprisingly all of them were playing great music. One was completely unmarked. You had to go through someone's house to get in! 
After clubbing all night we took the next day off to rest for exit fest. Exit is a massive all night music festival held inside an old fortress! Best venue ever. They had a giant tesla coil set up one of the fortress's walls with guy standing on it dancing. Huge bolts of electricity were flying out of his arms and head. We spent most of out time at the main stage: block party, nick cave, sbtrct, and DIPLO!   The sun was coming up when diplo ended his set!
