... of masonry and iconography. We had a short bus ride to Perast and then onto a small water taxi which took us over to the man made island of our Lady of the Rock. We had a look through the church and attached museum with it historic artifacts and presents bought over the years by the sailors after returning from their voyage as a thank you for a safe passage. Then back ...

... dangerous and looked forward to enjoying the rest of my vacation with Darko and Bojana. Making it to the baggage claim area successfully I was relieved seeing Darko standing their waiting for me. I was not fluent in Serbian and didn't want to publicize it by asking people questions in English manifesting I was American. I hurried to him giving him a large hug. I was so glad to see Darko. I noticed upon my arrival at the Belgrade airport that there were many female police officers ...

... the great scenery of Lake Skadar with its greeny blue surface, then the landscape gave way to the ragged coast which was just beautiful. On reaching Bar we quickly hopped straight on a bus north up the coast on Montenegro. The bus followed the coast we had just seen glimpses of and it really was picture perfect. We were visited the old town of Kotor but as the bus direct to Mostar in Bosnia left from Hercerg Novi just up from Kotor the following day we ...

... for the night, arriving there about 11pm, all we wanted to do was sleep - it had been a very long day! When we woke up the next morning, we noticed a German camper next to us, and we presumed they must have come through Croatia to here, so Paul went to ask what route they took &amp; how much they had to pay at the borders, as we were considering getting a ferry from Durres in Albania to Dubrovnik (depending how easy it was to cross the borders &amp; the ...

Since Dubrovnik was the last key place I wanted to visit before getting to Romania I have embarked on a five day four country journey to get me there. My first stop on this journey is the city of Kotor, Montenegro, a 2 and a half hour bus ride from Dubrovnik. This was also the first stop on this trip I didn't have a place to stay already lined up. I wasn't to concerned abot this as I figured there would be plenty of people at the bus station more than willing to let me ...

... wandering around town, laying on the beach and watching the Euro Cup with them in the local sports bar. Was great to hang out with such likeminded people with a similar sense of humour. It was also interesting to hear firsthand knowledge about the history of the region and the aftermath of the war - really opened our eyes. Definitely one of the real highlights of the trip. We saw so much stuff we would never have seen. Pulling up in the boat at a ...

... in that town for the evening. So, we found a local travel agency to try and get information about where we could stay. From the information we got, at first, it seemed like we would just be fine. But alas, it was much trickier than either one of us thought. There were only a handful of hotels for the entire small city (Tammy says two in her blog, but there are really 4, 3 of which I visited, she only got to see 2). When we hit the ...

... in (I swear, I only stared at him for a few seconds), he gave one table up and invited us to share the bench. Mike and Rosa were also on their honeymoon. He was an ex-pat from the Midwest, she was Brazilian (Roger, sound familiar?). He said he didn't like formal guidebooks and that they tried to stay out of bigger cities (they were also on their way to Dubrovnik). However, for the next few hours, he was over-inquisitive about where we had been, and then proceeded to copy ...

... the locals in older times used it to good effect, by lining it with villages and also building at the fjord's head a sizable port town as well as the most unusual defensive position (castle) I have ever seen . This old town lays on the shore but the adjoining castle winds and stretches up the face of the fjord like a giant snake. Unfortunately (or ...
