Hotel Iberostar Bellevue Budva

... do ktorych przyzwyczailismy sie w Chorwacji.
Kotor urzekl nas piekna architektura, natomiast pogoda - pod psem. A wlasciewie - pod kotem, tyle tu tych milych zwierzat w kazdej uliczce, okienku...
Ale jak lunelo - potoki wody spltwaly ze wszystkich schodow, uliczek... Miasto, ulokowane na stoku sprzyja potopowi!
Jestesmy mokrzy od stop do glow. A moze odwrotnie ;))
Za to wypilismy wspaniala kawe w oczekiwaniu na koniec ulewy ...

... along the promenade the whole day, and cuuuuute girls en mass everywhere :-P

There were some offers about excursions to different places, and i decided to do a trip to the bay of kotor by boat tomorrow...

btw, this monday and tuesday are days where the independence of montenegro from yugoslavia is celebrated, probably thats the reason why there is a stage and that much people around everywhere....

... State University in New Jersey. I can't recall whether it was prior to vacationing in Budva or after, but close to the Beograd marketplace we visited the apartment of a Serbian basketball player and his disc jockey roommate (the walls of the apartment were covered with music CD's from around the world). It was a very impressive CD collection. He said he often spent time in Manhattan studying when not having to compete. I became increasingly sad during this time owing that in ...

... to be seen, a few metres walking wondering what to do, and one did trot along - she spoke to English, but led us to a place where another woman came out to help, and then eventually a girl who sorted us out with a room, and a decent room it was too. Then we wondered into town, via the beach - the fast food collection was pretty extreme, the beach not so good. Old town was small, but enjoyable. European ...

... to drop the guy some 'tea money' and paid only 15 euros for his, but needless to say we were quite nervous about going through. When we actually got to the border there was an English guy there with his son who had just had to pay the full 138, which he was spewing about. Digger and Paula and I headed upstairs to buy it, and when Paula asked how much the guy said 15 euros (the amount for a car ...

... only about 50 houses there but the town is famous for the production of Njegos cheese, Njegos prosciutto, and dried mutton(yum!). We stopped at one of the larger restaurants there to see a smokehouse full of pig parts (glad I don't eat ham!) and get an explanation of the smoking process. For 6E we could get a plate with the ham, cheese and sourdough bread. I got a plate minus the ham for 3E. I thought I was being very adventurous to try something local. The bread was great and ...

... Cetinje - just a couple brief halts along the main street through town - so fortunately I was a little clued in. Even still, I ended up having to get off the bus on the wrong side of town in terms of practicalities. Luckily there were a couple young Serbian guys in the same situation right where I descended, so we got to work on finding the bus station together. Typically enough, we were a good couple kilometers from it, so we had to settle on a taxi ...

... was absent of all fun, of all pleasure. Why on earth had I done that? This question went through my mind over and over again as I swam to shore. I made my way back up to the cliff ledge. "I'm done." I said. Daniel looked at me, squinting to see me clearly as the sun bore down on us at noon. "Okay," he said. "Want to do the higher cliff now?" "This isn't the high one?" I said incredulously. "No. The higher cliff is over there. He pointed up and to our ...

... old fort at the top. The reward for the slog was stunning views of Kotor fjord, and the huge mountains looming over the fort. We spent some time here, gazing out over the incredible vista and simply laying in the sun. Kotor was to be our longest stopover on the trip, with three nights to be spent there, however we planned to do a little exploring the following day in the touristy city of Budva, which we passed on our journey from Bar, and to the ...

Out of Croatia, into another country with a big 'WAR' tag around its neck - Serbia and Montenegro. The country is actually three provinces, 2 of which seem happy together and the third, Kosovo, which obviously isn't. We got fed up of Croatia and it was chucking it down, so we got on a bus, headed south and crossed another border. Kotor has almost everything Dubrovnik has, apart from the large volumes of tourists and pretentiousness. Therefore, we ...
