Splendid Conference & Spa Resort Becici

... do ktorych przyzwyczailismy sie w Chorwacji.
Kotor urzekl nas piekna architektura, natomiast pogoda - pod psem. A wlasciewie - pod kotem, tyle tu tych milych zwierzat w kazdej uliczce, okienku...
Ale jak lunelo - potoki wody spltwaly ze wszystkich schodow, uliczek... Miasto, ulokowane na stoku sprzyja potopowi!
Jestesmy mokrzy od stop do glow. A moze odwrotnie ;))
Za to wypilismy wspaniala kawe w oczekiwaniu na koniec ulewy ...

We actually intended on going to back to Croatia, to Dubrovnik, before heading to Budva, but we met some people in our hostel in Sarajevo who offered to drive us there in their VW Bus. How could we resist?

The drive was stunning. We followed along a river gorge, which was green and lush, until it opened onto a giant lake. Our road was tiny and deserted, which was good because it ran through a series of tunnels ...

... that Budva at one point boasted more millionaires per capita than any other city in Europe due to its property explosion in the first half of the 2000s. It is also the smallest city in the world to have hosted a Rolling Stones concert, coincidence perhaps? Budva itself consists of several coves of beaches supported by a strip of lively bars and restaurants with a beautiful old town at one end.    The place was very lively ...

... many occasions in Beograd. The meetings were usually brief; only to exchange oral information and/or a few papers with Darko and whisper something or other in Darko's ear. He looks as the news media portrays him dressed in his gray wrinkled suit and tie and salt and pepper colored hair. He was a perfect gentleman all times I met him with Darko. After finishing our coffee, Darko said we ought leave and get a good nights rest because we had to leave early the next day for Montenegro ...

... the bridge?" "Not yet" "We have the bridge" Ok...it looked like I was going to have to see that bridge. I said goodbye and headed up the street, turned left at the top and got my first sight of the bridge. It was a huge thing, glistening white like the sail of a ship beneath the blue skies and October sun. That really is about all there is to say about the Millennium Bridge. I walked across it, and that's about it- bridges ...

... to the fortress and Castle of St. John. Again, we really enjoyed this because it helps you take in all the surroundings. Oh, and we are back to cheaper living...the entrance to the climb was only 2 Euro! Nice! After a well-deserved shower and cooling off, we had dinner in the old town. The old town is not very big and easy to just roam around to see really old churches and old mansions that are now cool hotels. This city has a nice vibe. The only drawback to our time ...

... might see, with its dramatic walls climbing the mountains, appearing hewn from the very rock on which they stand. Vladimir told us that the fortifications include more than 3000 steps and that 'only crazy tourists' climb them. He laughed and said 'look at them' pointing out some tourists far off in the distance, struggling around the walls. Vladimir then took us on a whirlwind tour of the old town of Kotor, showing us the main sites and explaining ...

... men here have a lot of Arab features which is not a good thing but seems OK on the women. All of the women look a lot like Cher and have a harsh, deep voice. The people don't seem very friendly and customer service is still a foreign concept. I'll get answers to questions that I'll find out later are wrong. Typically if you ask a "can you" question the answer will be no. Can you take the bus to xyz? No. But you can. It's frustrating. Maybe they just say "no ...

Hi everyone, Marina here. Rut avor. We started Croatia, if I may go on with the metaphor, by crashing on the rocks. First, we had to pay 100 Euro for the night in a hotel, as no one was offering private rooms at midnight. Then, the day after, we discovered that our bags are still in Paris. Or Frankfurt. Or maybe some other European city. And the city of Dubrovnik welcomed us with "Hi guys, you have reached Neve Shaanan" feeling. In spite of everything we decided to ...

... ready for my cold bucket shower, but to my surprise, when I tried the tap I got hot water! Bummer - I was so looking forward to that (not)! We dumped our bags at left luggage at the bus station and went back into town to kill time before our bus. We considered re-climbing the walls and headed over to the entrance ready to part with another 2 euros and tackle the peak again, but after staring up at it we decided that our experience had been fantastic just the way it was and ...
