Hunguest Hotel Sun Resort Herceg-Novi

... the waterfront where there are lots of restaurants. I think the city would look very beautiful at night. We headed back to the ship and sat up by the pool until dinnertime. We loved the food but were glad that dinner, unlike lunch, was not a buffet, otherwise we probably would have felt sick all the time.

Being on the cruise ship was like being a kid in a candy store.. except instead of a kid it was me and instead ...

Spent the morning in Dubrovnik, and left reluctantly to camp near the Montenegro border. Couldn't find a free lay by, but did find a pretty excellent campsite in Molunat. Other than us and the omnipresent German campervan, the town seemed to be populated only by small brown Croatian children playing football on the beach. People shouldn't be allowed to live here. It's too nice. They're very lucky tourists like us haven't wrecked it yet.

... way down the other side of the mountain as I arrived in Cetinje. I was quite disappointed by this city. As a matter of fact, I did not stay long at all and decided to head back to the coast to my third city. Again, I started climbing but for a short while and there it was, the Mediterranean and below my destination, Budva. With pure luck once again, I parked the car almost at the entrance to the old city. Budva, is another walled ...

... and others to airports. On numerous occasions I gave him and others rides to and from them. These and other thoughts plagued me when suddenly I heard a voice on the loud speaker call my name, Jill Starr, asking me to go to a customs area to claim my passport. I was the first person called so I don't know what happened to the others standing there still waiting. I hurriedly went to obtain my passport and was told that I cleared; the guard pointed the direction for me to go claim my ...

... to the fort above the town in temps of about 38C. She said it was worth it and I got to see it too without breaking into a sweat.....another good reason to have a digi camera. The next step was Bodva, the biggest beach resort in Montenegro and also the biggest disappointment for us. The huge hotels dominate the short stretch of beach with sunbeds and parasoles with not much else to offer us. It does have a picturesque old town that kept us busy for a long evening though. So after a ...

We'd seen a beautiful restaurant called Stari Mlini (the 'Old Mill') a few kms before Kotor the day before, an old stone building right on the water, and decided we'd splash out and have lunch there (using money our friends Lynette and Sich had kindly given us for just that purpose). It is apparently, so we found out, regarded as the best restaurant in Montenegro, famed for its cheese which sits in oil in 200 year old jars for 6 months, as well as its ...

... was on parts of the road that were clearly one lane only for any size vehicle. At times, the road was washed out, so there was just some dirt, gravel and/or pour quality asphalt left. And on top of that, often this road was right alongside a cliff. I commend the driver (who smoked on occasion, making the ride that much more interesting, especially as the bus was marked 'no smoking' on the inside), for his driving skills. He drove this ...

... as many of the small alleys and side streets as I could manage. It was hard to get my head around the fact that this was an actual town, where restaurants and bars stayed open late and people actually lived in the houses. So many of the other old towns I've been in, especially within walls, were like museum pieces, places to pay admission fees and snap photos and then when 7 or 8 rolls around they shut down and you go back to your hostel. But Dubrovnik's Old Town is ...

... and very excitable - botanist. The Croatian one was prone to launching into monologues that ended with "such is nature"....very PBS Special. We had an excellent lunch of homemade prosciutto, fresh bread and goat cheese and local wine, which again I was not allowed to pay for. Mljet is truly pristine, and I am so glad I visited during the off-season, as summer crowds would render it a lot less magical. Next stop: Meteora, Greece
