Travel Blogs from Montenegro
just a daytrip from Sarajevo
The streets in Bosnia are horrible, so the tour was quite exhausting, but I was rewarded, the bay of Kotor is a great ...
I hate water
... where you are going! So not too many passport customs stamps lately. We were pleasantly surprise when we went into Montenegro (which I recently learned it's a country of its own), that we get a stamp! (see picture). I love the European ...
Transitions
Funny, this entry is already outdated considering the Montenegro situation. I am now in Beograd/Belgrade. I didn't expect to spend any time here and in reality, well, I'm not going to spend much time here anyway. From what I've seen, I really like ...
Kotor between the Serbs and Albanians.
... years and at least as far as the last James Bond movie where they played the million dollar poker game in a place called Montenegro actually filmed in Vancouver. But seriously I've always been curious to know Why. Why Montenegro? Why is ...
Beautiful Montenegro and rain again
... nothing like that. I'm sure it would be another story if we were to visit Kosovo. My understanding is that currently, Montenegro and Serbia are both republics of Yugoslavia, but they are working to become independent, though the process is slow.* ...
Belgrad / Serbia
Two days in Belgrad cause we were curious how it looks there. Tuesday weather was absolutely horrible, snow and rain and our hostel was disgusting. In the evening we had a great dinner in "MAJIK" restaurant (fusion), it was amazing. Go to Strahinjica ...
Belgrade Pt. 1
First time in Belgrade. I was there for about 10 minutes. Got a taxi from the station to the airport for 200 dinar. From Bratislava I had to go to Milan to collect my luggage that was a friends houes, then 18hrs on the train to Belgrade. Was ok, shared a ...

Hallo zusammen, habe zwei Naechte in Budva uebernachtet, die Saison ist zum Glueck schon vorbei, so dass dass die Technodiskotheken etc. alle schon zu sind. Habe einen Tagesausflug zum Ostrog Kloster im Landesinneren gemacht. Da gibt es keinen ...
Riding
Got to the Happy Hippo Hostel in Budva, Montenegro where I would set up camp for the longest stay this month (6 nights). I'm a sucker for free internet and DVD library. It's pretty much the only formal hostel in ...
La coerenza è per gli idioti
Oscar Wilde scrisse che la coerenza è per gli idioti. È quello che continuo a ripetermi mentre cammino verso la fermata degli autobus di Belgrado. avevo detto che sarei arrivato a Istanbul viaggiando solo in treno, ma mi hanno appena spiegato che ...
Don't judge a book by it's cover
When we arrived in dreary Belgrade at 6am in the morning, stepping out of the train station, the first thing we saw was trampy concrete blocks. I thought we had just arrived in the slums! Saying the area round the train station is ugly, is an ...
One big happy family
Last night was truly epic, never have I stayed with so many people at one time. Marko, his brother Jovan and their lovely Mum are unbelievably hospitable. They had 15 other people in their house and all they could do was smile and entertain us with their ...
Finding my Nis
... , then just another 15 or so mountainous miles to Podgorica (Pod - GOR - eet- sah). There are peaks in every direction. 'Montenegro' doesn't so much describe it's salient feature as give its address. In the cab to the airport, the driver tells me that ...
Belgrade
Woke up late, hung around the place for a while. Left the house at 12:15pm heading to the train station with the guys, they were going to Plovdiv, I was going to get a train towards Dimitrovgrad to avoid the previous days hitchhiking disaster. Got ...
Starting the process for my İranian visa
İ woke up at 6 am so I could catch an early bus to the maın bus termınal. When I boarded the bus, I asked the drıver to let me know where I had to get off as I was told that the stop was a 10 mınute walk from the bus termınal (thus not obvıous ...
One beautiful moment
A somewhat excrutiating 2 hour bus ride from Prishtina (for the horrible, horrible music they played throughout, so loud it was impossible to ignore) brought me to Prizren, a large town that was the scene of some of the most violent clashes in the 2004 ...
Appealingly ugly
Not having learnt from my previous experience, I thought it would be a good idea to break up my journey to Budapest and take in a couple of smaller towns along the way. My first stop was Art Nouveau inspired Subotica Forced to spend 6 hours here by ...
from Belgrade with a smile
Last night right as i was about to call it a night i ended up meeting a cool Irish guy and a French girl who were on there way out for a drink of coffee I decided to join them and realized what i had been missing was a good night ...
The Csada Homeland
Spent a hot Sunday afternoon wandering the streets of Zrenjanin, where my Csada ancestors lived before emigrating to Canada in the early 1900's. Back then, the town was called Grossbechkerek, and it was part of Hungary. It felt pretty ...
Soooo hot....want to touch the heiny....aaaaoooooo
We got into Belgrade late at night and went to the main square which has tons of cafes and bars. The Serbian women are unbelievably hot and dress to impress (i.e. whorishly). It was a nice change of scenery from ladyboys and muslim ...
Crna Gora
Montenegro is no longer politically connected with of Serbia, but Travelpod seems a bit behind the times. Of course, they didn't check our passports between the two ...
Serbian Slog
Not much to report here, long hot ride across into Serbia, Border crossings now a doddle, roads suprisingly good with some beautiful countryside along the ...
Budva
There was a glimmer of sun today and decided to relax in Budva after last two days of productive sightseeing. Enjoyed sitting out on the deck staring out at the Adriatic Sea and little island "Sveti Nikola" in front of me and Old Town walls to the right. ...
Kotor town on the coast of Montenegro
Old habour town with an old castel. For me mor impressive than ...
Kotor Bay
... was not as dramatic as Iceland's fjords but it was very beautiful. The sea was an indigo blue as is most of coastal Montenegro. I decided to climb the 1500 steps to the old fortifications on the mountainside above Kotor. It gave me good views of ...
Refurendum Success!
... for the worldcup, Montenegro was going through its 2006 referendum that officially made them separate state from Serbia. (Serbia and Montenegro played together through the tournament) We jetted through Albania, knowing we had to meet Greg in Kotor, ...
Kotor Bay - frickin' beautiful!
... we survived. In the evening we went to an amazing floating restaurant where I ordered absolutely NO cheese, and sampled Montenegro's token vegetarian dish (I'm actually glad they had one as it was unflappably delish), vegetable risotto. It was a ...
