After the stifling public bus ride from Sarajevo to Ostrog, we somehow ended up with a private AIRCONDITIONED bus to take us to our next destination, Budva! Stopped on the way for a photo of Budva, which looked lovely from all the way above on the hill. Little did we know that when we got there it would be a dump, with rubbish, a horrid smell, and garish, trashy looking tourists.
The only saving grace was a fantastic restaurant we found in the old town called Juice Bar.
Day 2
Got up early and had breakfast at our hotel before setting off for a boat trip around the Budva Peninsula and Sveti Stefan.
Unfortunately the boat we were on had hordes of rude Russian tourists who pushed and shoved to get to the seats, and were wearing most inappropriate outfits for a morning seaside trip. I have never seen so many sparkly thong bikinis (on young, old, big and small alike), brash D&G belts, sequinned evening bags, diamonte heels, chavvy hoop earrings, and frost lipsticks and eyeshadows circa 1982 in my life. And I never wish to again.
Thankfully we disembarked at Sveti Stefan and wandered around (you cannot go on the island, which is unfortunate) and had a splash on the pebble beach. Dinner at Juice Bar again :)
