Hotel Marija Kotor

... the morning in his office doing some work and by the mid-afternoon the wind slowed down even though it was still raining hard. He got us to go with him to explore Kotor. It was just too wet and muddy to climb up to the fortress and ruins on the mountain above the city, which was too bad for Stee since he's wanted to do just for several years, and now that he was actually here he was losing the opportunity.<br><br>Kotor ...

... vorbei, obwohl es genug Touristen gab, da Kreuzfahrtschiffe die Stadt anlaufen. <br><br>Diese haben aber nicht uebernachtet, so dass es dann am spaeten Abend und am morgen recht ruhig war.<br><br>Montenegro ist ein recht kleines Land, 100km in jede Richtung. Aber er ist recht bergig und die Strassen sind daher recht kurvig. Daher ist man nicht so schnell von a nach b wie man es eigentlich sein koennte. <br><br>Gruss<br>Ralf<br>

... have chosen a better name. I need to get off there in order to get a connection to another bus to my destination Ulcinj. We stop at small roadside place in which almost the entire bus exits. I look at signs to see if I can see the name of a town. Two of the signs say "Bar" so I am thinking this might be it. I ask the driver before I leave. He shakes his head no. 10 seconds later I realize that these are bars not the town of Bar. Hmm&#8230;.. <br><br>It turns out that ...

... cracked windshield, four bad tires, beat up old Benz style? That was seriously the finest taxi ride I have ever taken anywhere. <br><br>I bought a bus ticket to Kotor, Montenegro on the Adriatic coast to kill some more time and the bus strained to climb up the tall mountains that surround P Town. An hour and a half later my jaw dropped as we came around a bend and the coastline was a few thousand feet below. I have never seen ...

... 5 mins). But it is deep enough for a modern ship. The bay has always been easily protected by setting up canons on teach side of the strait! <br><br>The towns were quite adorable and rustic, sleepy. <br><br>We rented a little 2 bedroom apartment that was in the middle of old town. It is right above a pizzzaeria so we can smell yummy food all night J Having the door open towards the little alley way really makes me feel like I am in a little European town.

... The next thing I recall clearly was standing alone in Podgorica train station facing two amused looking policemen. "Why you here?" one of them demanded, his mate standing behind him in a pathetic attempt to look like the *******e while still pulling one of the stupidest grins ever. "I'm here for the train to Belgrade" I murmured drunkenly. (Not a great deal of alternative reasons to go to a train station really). "Train is go ...

... It didn't take long for the landscape to take on dramatic proportions. Soaring mountains plunging into the sea and road signs in brown indicating sites of interest every couple of kilometres were clear indicators that we were in a pretty special place. Vladimir took us first to the site of some Roman mosaics. Unfortunately they are under reconstruction as the government attempts to protect and make then accessible at the same time. Vladimir wasn't ...

... for a very affordable price). A sit down, very pleasant multi course meal, all for less than 15 Euro for both of us. Can't beat that, a wonderful little ending to a very long and interesting day. Next morning, we got up very earlier and scurried back to the bus station to take a small van up to Zagljak, the town that sits alongside Durmitor National Park. Very much like the ride in southern Bosnia, the roads were narrow and windy ...

... their best to make everyone's stay as pleasant as possible. Good business sense, I suppose, but you would be surprised how often it doesn't happen. Such a comfortable place to be, it seems there were always people lounging around doing nothing in particular. Usually Brian, someone I had met on Korcula and again in Dubrovnik. In the time it had taken me to do Dubrovnik - Mostar - Sarajevo - Zabljak - Budva, he had just been here. He was still there ...

... bags in the left luggage and started to climb again as we wanted to see the top again. We did not get far, our thighs and calfs were screaming. So we turned around and came back We only had two days in Montenegro, and we would love to see more, if only bloody Tadek wasn't getting married we would have stayed longer. The people were far more welcoming than the Croatians. And finally, if someone ever says go to Montenegro, go, you will not regret it !!!!!
