Hotel Sajo Budva

... we walked out of the bathroom, we noticed a feral cat really different than regular feral cats- this one reminded me of my cousin Tracey’s- with really long back legs, no tail, and a different build. (I think they are Egyptian cats?) The cat’s back feet were even much larger than normal. I’m sure he could jump really high. We tried to pet him but he wouldn’t let us. After this we knew we were ...

... in after about 5 mins of him being in the bunk the whole of the bunk bed above me fell through on top of me with him and his matress included! I couldnt quite believe it, I was burried under a load of bunk bed beams, a matress and a big fat Belgian guy who I am pretty sure contributed towards the down fall of the bunk bed being quite a large lad. After all the comotion I managed to get back ...

... day I'd again be saying goodbye to the man I loved, Darko; perhaps leaving Serbia forever. I wanted to stay and live in Beograd permanently but I had duties to my graduate studies at FDU in Hackensack, New Jersey. Had I known the university (FDU) would be soon dismissing me from their graduate program similarly to the New School for Social Research, I would have stayed in Beograd. I always told Darko my greatest desire was to live in Serbia and/or Montenegro. He always replied ...

... B339, first come first served, will make a good home for a domestic animal no bigger than a rabbit. A local barman was our savior, making a couple of calls and leading us into the mountains above the city. We were introduced to the family, showed our room, where the bathroom was, and left to it. It didn't feel like any apartment we had stayed in before, the cupboards full of clothes were a give away sign that we were sleeping in someones spare room. Maybe Grandma had... gone ...

... I was very glad that I had my own bathroom and a comfortable room. I managed to read the last 20 pages of Gone for Good, my latest Harlan Coben novel. Eventually, at 3 pm, I thought it might be safe to get out of bed and venture outside to get some fresh air. It was a pretty day but between my entire body being sore, continuous nerve pain and a headache I only managed to stay out until 5 when I went back to bed. 8/12 I slept until 6 am despite going to bed so early. My body ...

... very long, really. The beach seems to be where all the action is, though it's light on sand and heavy on pebbles. Not the finest strand I've seen, but it doesn't seem to bother the tourists. The old town itself is somewhat of a junior Dubrovnik, fortunately with far smaller crowds. It's picturesque enough, but it all feels a little artificial. Apparently it was nearly obliterated in a 1979 earthquake, so it's understandable that it doesn't feel so old ...

... within the last hundred or so years. It seems to me one of us found a date, or perhaps the clue was given away by the building materials. I cannot recall now: whatever it was that tipped us off is shrouded in the mists of time. Daniel had told us all earlier that the island had been recently purchased by an individual who was trying to turn it into a resort. But that construction had been halted. We wandered around a bit more before we came to the ...

... neither of us felt like staying long, so we made our way back to the bus station to get the next bus back to Kotor. We spent our final evening in the world's newest nation in the same bar we spent the previous evening in, known simply as Pub Dock. Strangely enough the Poland Denmark game from the world handball championships was being televised, so we stayed out for a few hours to cheer our adopted homeland on. In extra time they made it over the line, and whilst it was nothing ...

... work!!! We had quite a nice time there!!! You can meet young people from all around the world and have parties till sunrise every night!!! And the landscape is simply amazing. Even if the place is very busy, you can easily find room by the inhabitants. They take €uros, as most of them live in the EU during the year!!!

... Clearly, these cruisegoers were all over the O.C., and you could so easily pick out who was a Carnival cruisegoer and who was not. It was nice later in the day when they had clearly gone back to their boat. One other interesting observation. Both days, we noticed a maitre 'd outside of a restaurant sporting a South Park tie. It seemed so out of place, and I can't imagine he has ever seen an episode. We tried to get a few surreptitious photos, but I'm not sure how we did. Our ...
