Hotel Danica Petrovac

Bar is a port town in Montenegro. It took us about 5 hours or so to get there by bus from Dubrovnik. The first thing we did was use the bathroom. Of course the station restrooms had holes in the floor for the toilets and little foot areas so you could squat down over the hole. I still don't understand how women are expected to pee that way. It’s so difficult- not to mention gross- at the same time. And, we had to pay for it ...

... die Stadt mit meinem Gepaeck besichtigen, da der Busbahnhof ziemlich tot ist und ich niemanden gefunden habe, der mein Gepaeck lagern wollte (nun, ich bin in Europa, was kann man da erwarten, Europa ist nicht fuer seine Gastfreundlichkeit bekannt, in anderen Kontinenten habe ich keine Probleme mein Gepaeck loszuwerden).<br><br>Gruss<br>Ralf<br>

... windows, waving their dish towels, blankets, laundry pulled off the line. Everyone stood, waving, until the ship was long passed, and it was the most touching, amazing contact we've had. <br><br> <br><br><br><br>Once docked, we took a ...

... he had it all planned out. Darko told me we would all spend the night over Bojana's house, the next day sleep at his apartment outside Beograd and later explained the next day we would stop at his father's family's house for dinner and leave from there making our way into Montenegro for a ten day vacation staying at his friend's resort on Budva's seaside coast. Along the way Darko told me he would give me the best tour I could ask for and he did. He showed me military ...

... knocking on the door and telling the occupant what an awesome location their house was in, but I decided against it). I began to feel a little down, Montenegro was my first new country on this trip and the 30th nation I'd ever visited- not exactly the most inspiring place to reach this landmark. I wondered why I'd thought Podgorica was a good idea, the train I had been on had gone all the way to the coastal city of Bar, and ...

... pas voyager avec eux... j-espere qu-il fera un peu soleil demain pour que je puisse visiter un peu... je suis ici pour 2 ou 3 jours et je pars ensuite pour le kosovo... salutations a tout le monde... p.s. je n-ai eu a utiliser ni couche ni immodium car tout est sous controle meme plus qu-avant de partir... ca augure bien excuser les fautes, le clavier ne repond pas aux lettres ecrites, ni a la ponctuation...

... of stones and rubbish and yucky water, backed by ugly hotel and apartment complexes). We reckon 2/3 of Montenegro were on that beach. We drove in....and promptly drove out again. Not for us - it was like being in a totally different country to the days before. We drove past a little fishing island that has been bought up by an exclusive hotel (and used in the latest James Bond movie) and headed for ...

... 3km to the right and up the hill a bit... ok. how hard could that be to find?? So we hit the road, alex with his luggage on wheels, and my big pack. Quickly , the town went from friendly and comfy to, "hmm. I think we just entered the bad side of town." The sun was setting , and we didn't want to get stuck there in the dark, so we sped up a bit, looking for this other hotel at the end of the road, stopping to ask directions repeatedly. Finally, we ...

yep, still alive mum :) i´m in dubrovnik now, its quite beautiful, now that the weather has settled down - its been pretty stormy for the last few days. which is good for spectacular views of waves slamming themselves against impressive walls and cliffs, but not so good for the swimming and lying in the sun for extended periods of time that was the original plan for dubrovnik. but it fined up ...

... have been completely dark, so I just hoped that no one would interrupt me! After the ferry we followed a coastline road to Kotor. On one side of the road, there were houses, and on the other, small enclosed docks to tie up the boats and keep them safe. By enclosed, I mean that instead of jetties sticking out into the water perpendicular to the shore, the dock would nearly form a room-sized square, with boats secured inside.
