Hotel Slovenska Plaza Budva

Rozpieszczeni pogoda i wspanialym zapleczem turystycznym Chorwacji przekraczamy granice Czarnogory.
Montenegro to piekna geograficznie kraina, nie spodziewalismy sie jednak takiej infrastruktury turystycznej, jaka zastalismy. Sa tu wielkie hotele, ktorych swietnosc przypada na lata 70te. Sa tu wielkie, rozpoczete budowy nowych zalozen hotelowych. Widac, ze nastal okres inwestowania w turystyke. Jednakze posrodku - dziura: brak prywatnych hotelikow ...

... and were really curious about my stories about hh.. They drove directly to budva, taking a trip around the bay of kotor..
Finally, they invited me for a lunch in Budva, i couldnot refuse, because we had really nice chats. (berenice and marco, about 35 of age..)

In Budva, everything is expensive, especially tap water, using toilets costs 50 cents everywhere, because water is rare. There is music and party ...

... stores we often visited were Daffy's and Macy's in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. I vividly remember the Republika Srpska diplomatic contact to the Hague court in the Netherlands visiting. Me, Darko, he whose name was Dan in English, along with my daughter little Jill went to Macy's at the Willow brook Mall in Wayne NJ allowing Dan to buy some gifts for his girlfriend back in Bosnia. Afterwards, we all enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Six Brothers Diner on Route 46 not to far from ...

Big ol' bus journey to Montenegro, shared with numerous traveller types including a mad Japanese lady and some Austalian chicks that had been overcharged on their fare and were in a bit of financial strife. At each major bus stop along the way the travellers were greeted to hordes of people offering rooms, so we were confident that all would be well at our stop - however this was not to be. Not a single toothless ...

... this has definitely been our favourite stop so far. Montenegro is half the price of Croatia but half as efficient. We were guided to the 9:45 bus to Tivat by a worker at the bus station. The bus said Tivat but the bus driver said, no Tivat. We protested but he couldn't be ***** going there leaving us with 2 options; wait for the next whopper to tell us he wasn't going or get on the bus and see where we end up. So were now in Budva. Hope Englands okay, speak to you soon. Bailey and Kerry

... he could see most of his country. The mausoleum is built atop Jezersko Peak (1660m) and is like a stairway to heaven. It would be amazing to see how the mausoleum was built because it is literally "on top" of this steep, rocky mountain. The narrow ridge at the peak has a walkway across where you can just peer over the edge and get goosebumps. On a clear day we were told you can see Italy. Not far from Lovcen is the tiny town of Njegusi where Petar Njegos was born. Today there ...

... s also a picturesque old town stuck off on a corner of the coast. Not a bad little place to while away a couple days, even if the main priority of most people is sun and sand. I didn't have the best of introductions to the place this morning. My bus in from Kotor didn't bother with a stop at Budva's station, so I had to jump up and ask the driver what was going on as we got towards the end of town. I noticed the same thing happened yesterday on the bus ...

... Could I consciously decide to risk everything for an ideal? No matter how stupid this ideal might be, perhaps this was a microcosm of something greater. No, I decided, that line of thought was rubbish. This was stupid. Walk away. My heart was pounding in my heart so hard I couldn't hear anything else, though I was sure Daniel was egging me on again. Don't ask me why, but I jumped. Obviously, I am okay. There were no injuries. I lived. But the ...

... way up the steep hill to the old fortification protecting Kotor's stari grad. Kotor had once been a Mediterranean naval power, and I imagine the fortification was once an integral part of that. A regret of mine was not visiting the maritime museum, however with the sun shining and an incredible view awaiting us at the fort I wasn't going to spend the afternoon indoors. We took our time climbing the steps, and it took around an hour in all to reach ...

... Madonna of the Rocks). We took a small boat to the latter. According to legend, two seamen saw an image of the Madonna on a rock. They showed the image to a priest, and he commissioned a church to be built on the spot. We ate lunch at a waterfront seafood restaurant in Budva, where I had a very nice stuffed squid. The others seemed grossed out by my choice, having ordered spaghetti, pork chops and chicken with french fries. What the hell?!?!
