... catch the bus to Ulcinji in Montengro. Loads of taxi drivers were offering to take me for 20 Euros but I just told them I was going to wait for the bus. There was one taxi driver who was being quite persistant as he had 2 other people waiting and I could go for 10 Euros but I told him I didnt want to. He saw me 5 mins later and told me he had 3 people now and that I could go for 5 Euros so I thought to hell with it why not. Something about this guy I really didnt like. I have got a ...

... for better understanding wherefore people behave as they do. Mladic first seated himself across from me, in a separate chair the right of Darko. The waitress returned asking Mladic what he preferred to drink; he ordered expensive wine saying jokingly it was "two hundred dollars a bottle," smiling. I was already drinking an alcoholic beverage of some sort I can't remember along with Bojana. Darko rarely drank and sipped on something non-alcoholic. Extolling me to Mladic, Darko ...

She says: It's funny the things you come to appreciate more once you've been traveling for several weeks (especially on a budget). For me, two of the highlights of our stay in Budva were a sparkling clean bathroom (with an enclosed shower!!) and the fact that I got to eat broccoli. Seriously, we lucked out with our accomodations in Budva. We had booked a double room at the hostel, but they overbooked accidentally and ended up putting us in a ...

... of the town. Happy with my find, I go off and search the town. I decide (somewhat foolishly) to climb the town fortress, which is 1500 steps up the mountain- at 12:30pm. Am doing quite well at doing stuff in the heat of the day. Was definitely worth it though, just for the views over the town and the Bay of Kotor. Incredible blue water, and you can see the town layed out like a map from above. Exhausting though! Especially as I am trying a new thing to ...

A smooth and almost on time journey was in store for us on the overnight train from Belgrade to Bar. We shared a compartment with 3 other people and there wasnt much snoring or any other dusturbances! Some of the scenery as we passed through Montengro was amazing with sheer drops to the side and lush, green forests. After we arrived we jumped on a bus to our next stop, the holiday resort of Budva. We decided to stay in a hostel again this time as it was the cheapest option and the campsite ...

... of limestone and the music really echoes. Or else it was just turned up really loud. Kotor was getting down. * * * Before we had breakfast the next morning, we climbed up to the castle-ruin on the hill above Kotor. In the olden days, it was a pirate lair. The walls rise right up the side of the hill and I learned in the city's itsy bitsy museum that the castle is 641 meters above sea level. The castle is pretty wrecked although some repair work has been ...

... Since Budva is a city that is more focused toward new age architecture, much like Miami, the city outside its old town, does not hold many historical sights. In the near vicinity of the town of Budva there are exclusive resorts such as town-hotel Sveti Stefan and Miločer, places frequented by various celebrities as well as local businessmen and politicians

... for it, but the alternative is to drive "up there", with no safety rails on roads with no lighting. A colleague lost her husband there - it is easy to make the mistake and find yourself falling a few hundred meters. The tunnel takes you to the coastal road, which is in good order, but always crowded during the summer. After 15h on the road - we finally reached Budva, where a colleague had agreed a room for ...

... tell that that's where you're going and they struggle manfully to locate some scrap of knowledge about the country so that they can make an intelligent comment. Most of them ask where abouts in Africa it is, although a reasonable number opted for South America. There was general astonishment to the idea that it was just over the water (The Adriatic) from Italy. At least when I mentioned that it was part of the ...
