Hotel Crna Gora Podgorica

... t have room for two cars, no guard railings, and corners where you can see crashed cars below... ya, I can do without doing that again!<br><br>So why would a couple of crazy Canadians make the trek up to the top you ask? Well, Ostrog is actually a religious pilgrimage for most people who are a part of the Serbian Orthodox faith. This was the case of Adrianna who went with us. Ostrog is dedicated to and houses the remains of St ...

... to sit in the air conditioned apartment and break open the wine!<br><br>Day 2<br>Today Aunt Sue and I went out for lunch. We had a drink and shared a VERY tasty pizza - it was very thin crust and very light and tasty -- all for under 10E. After, we ventured over to the only mall in town "Delta City" to attempt to see The Proposal. To kill time, we wondered around so i could explore, went to Neptune so i could ...

... was seriously damaged. There were even flowers and trees still growing untouched in front of the building. I strongly believe that NATO knew exactly what they aimed at when they bombed the building. I brought a digital camera with me on my trip but upon returning to the United States, all the film Darko claimed to snap for me was returned by my local film developer as blank. I wondered if Darko told me the truth about snapping photos for me at all. Throughout my trip he insisted ...

... university, I decided to move to a slightly cheaper but more central accomodation for the Saturday night. Driving all day usually fries my brain somewhat so I made sure I mentally mapped my route to the hotel. It's hard enough for a Tomtom to route around road works so instead I ended up in the middle of many dead ends and detours. After some disorientation I manage to find the Bojatour Lux hotel on Kralja Nicola amongst streets ...

... Yes" (Wait a minute..I had twenty people with me a second ago, ****, where have they gone?) "Ok, have a safe journey boy!" With that ominous statement, he handed my passport back and left. That sentence made me both fear for my life and feel, for some reason, like Oliver Twist. There can be very few sentences that have both these qualities (with the possible exception of "Prepare to die you orphan ****!"). A little while later ...

This is how Lord Byron described the Montenegrin coast at his time. There is little to add or subtract from his words - you have to see for yourself the power of impression that prompted the great poet to write such beautiful words. Of some 300 kilometers of coast line, as much as fifty two kilometers belongs to the beaches, the most beautiful merging of sun, sea and land. There are larger ...

... I figured that theres probably less chance of being robbed in a dorm in a Monastery than a normal everyday dorm in a hostel, so I just leave the room unlocked for my pilgrimage up the mountain to the Upper Monastery, which is a stark white church which appears to be built into the edge of a cliff. It was a 1hr steep climb to the ...

... minutes, I was down the mountain eating my lunch and sitting on a rock at the side of the road. This was the Bogetici bus stop. The entire time I was throwing evil looks at the top of the mountain (as if the taxistas could see me) and muttering, "ne dobro" (Montenegran for "no good"). I did not know the Montenegran word for bad, evil, bullies, or money-hungry pigs. I told myself that I had to learn these words for the next time I meet another taxi driver.

... for bird flu. Vladimir, our guide, surmised that the spray was water and that it was simply an excuse to collect a fee. Montenegro is a beautiful place, and its inhabitants enjoy a leisurely pace of life. When asked what people do in Montenegro, Vladimir replied, "sleeping, drinking brandy and making philosophy". Some, however, interpret their lifestyle as being...er...lazy. There's a joke that goes something like this: two Montenegrins get ...

... you can do about it and all the hotels are in on the scam. We found the cheapest of the expensive hotel rooms and walked around the city at night to have a quick look. During our travels we decided not to hang around in the city because of the price of accommodation. Pity - because it was a really nice city. So we headed for the coast by bus.
