First off, Travelpod's gotta get up to date. There hasn't been a country called "Serbia and Montenegro" in over a year. Even GoogleMaps - which Travelpod uses! - has the change all integrated. So, I'm in Kotor, Montenegro, no matter what this title reads. But, I digress. . . This is how Dubrovnik should have been. A picturesque and charming, old...

We didn't spend very long in Montenegro. We had heard that Budva was a good city to visit (it's just down the coast from Kotor) but we forgot that advice at the time and went to Kotor instead. Kotor is renouned for being situated on the longest fjord in Europe and for its very small old city. We ignored a fellow who approached us, offering a pri...

We arrived in Kotor, Montenegro by minibus (similar to the Samonsky Wag-o-van) sitting behind a rowdy 60-year-old drunk Brit (no kidding, every 15 minutes the guy took sips of beer from a bottle with a twist-off cap hidden in his backpack, yelling "Montenegro! Doesn't that mean 'Black Mountain'? Why are the bloody mountains all GREEN?"). Kotor, ...

Sorry a long one... if your not a reader, just look at the pictures. Firstly why is the Serbia and Montenegro team all black apart from one guy? There is not one african guy here! Montenegro is as of a few weeks ago seperate from Serbia. To continue from Mostar, I got the bus to Kotor in Montenegro. Ended up sitting next to a british lady and he...

Well, today i entered the a country only about 3 months old, indeed its so new that this silly travelpod thing hasnt registered it exists yet. It was actually kinda funny that at the border crossing everyone on the bus insisted on having their passports stamped. Twas sad to leave Dubrovnic behind though. Anyway the bus trip went down through Mon...

Ok so starting off with a bit of a geography lesson. Montenegro actually became its own country about one month ago (before it was Serbia & Montenegro). Previously Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia were all part of Yugoslavia, but now they are each independed countires. Ok done with the lesson, on to my day. Kotor has this little village where when...

Montenegro is not part of Serbia. Montenegro is not part of Serbia. Montenegro is not part of Serbia. We have to put this in the travel log at least 3 times as we heard this fact about 100 times in our 2 day visit to coastal Montenegro. While the rest of the world was making their beer can hats getting ready for the worldcup, Montenegro was goin...

Out of Croatia, into another country with a big 'WAR' tag around its neck - Serbia and Montenegro. The country is actually three provinces, 2 of which seem happy together and the third, Kosovo, which obviously isn't. We got fed up of Croatia and it was chucking it down, so we got on a bus, headed south and crossed another border. Kotor has almos...

Greetings from Montengro!! It feels like the holiday is over and the real travelling begins now as we're entering the unfamilar.. Eastern Europe is great. You have to love a country where no other music seems to exsist except Euro pop! It's like Eurovision everyday, all day. Before I start holiday stories I need to let you know the best thing ab...

Having never seen a fjord in my life the lure of another stamp and another walled town was just too much to resist, we had to investigate! Our mates Tadek and Karin had mentioned Montenegro was great and the Kiwi we had met on Korcula had also mentioned it. So recommendations taken, off we went. The scenery during the coach trip from Dubrovnik w...
