Bryan and Tess - Bryan Nelson

I am about to celebrate my 40th birthday next Friday and as a suprise my gorgeous wife has booked a holiday somewhere on this rock we call earth. Every year for the past 5 years I have written a small journal about where we have been, but this time I thought I would put it on-line.

Holidays are more than just laying on a beach. I also enjoy walking and exploring new countries and trying different foods and anything they have to offer. I feel that there is too much to see and not enough cash to see it all.

Going home This is it our time has come the curtains fell its time to pack everything away and head to the airport. Two and a half hours should be enough. Not remembering how long it took us to get to Prcanj in the first place. Our only real obstacle was the random queuing system they had for the ferry. Plus taking into acount queue jumpers and stationary drivers pulling forwards trying to run Tess over just for walking to the ticket office. Like I have mentioned many times the driving over here is very very bad. One example I missed [View Full Entry]

Sun is shinin' in the sky, There ain't a cloud in sight It's stopped rainin' Everybody's in a play And don't you know. It's a beautiful new day. Yes guess what it’s sunny and we are going to slob out on our last day at Jas beach. About a ten minute drive from our apartment. Jas beach is a lot quieter than round near Budva selection of beaches and the sea is easier to swim in with no rocks to slip on or strong waves to knock you over. [View Full Entry]

Rainy days on Wednesday We knew it would be too good to last. The sky is a gun metal grey and full of clouds The wind has picked up and the sea is battering against the old towns wall and wash upon the beach. There is no chance of laying on the beach today as all the loungers have been packed up and parasols put away. It feels like summer has packed up and taken a vacation today. Just as well it’s not cold. Ahh Zabljak. Just because the weather is poor it doesn't mean our day’s activities will be. After [View Full Entry]

A veiw from our appartment
Well what better way to start the day than a morning boat trip out to St Nickola Island (known locally as Hawaii) and along the Budva Riveria. A little choppy as we got quite wet but the fresh air helped build an appetite, so once back on teraferma we headed to the Juice bar. It a little on the Californian side but the food is great. Plus there is a great range of smoothies to choose from. Well not much to say here apart from we found an ace beach near the Restoran Masa restaurant, it's small and quiet and it [View Full Entry]

A great place to chill
If you do come and visit Budva bring some earplugs. They play really loud music until the early hours of the morning, roughly about 4am. Perhaps if I was younger I might have been down there boogying, But now. Ouch my back. Well I had a good night sleep as I had my earplugs left from when I went mountain biking around a month ago and I left them in my rucksack. If you're wondering why I had earplugs for mountain biking it because I shared a room with five other lads. All bound to snore. We got up and went [View Full Entry]

Morning again. Today is the day we travel to Budva. The weather is slightly cloudy and as usual it looks like it might rain. I know I moaned quite a bit about Zabljak and most of it is understandable. Especially the bits about being watched all the time, but there are some good point, some nice people and I will miss them and their charm and smiles. He we go, it's 10:00am and time to set off on our long journey. Its hard work on these roads, having to dodge potholes every so many feet and this is not an exaggeration [View Full Entry]

Rain again Morning. It was make or break day today. Wake up and its sunny we stay. Rainy we travel down to Budva and find a hotel for the night before we go to our pre-booked accomodation, which we still had not heard from yet. So first job of the day is to find an internet cafe. Our travel guide book mentions three in Zabljak, but can't we find any. To cut a short story shorter if you do travel to Zabljak and find Toni's supermarket turn left and its on the left about 10 yard down. A small wooden building, [View Full Entry]

Morning guess what. Go on I dare you. Yes it’s sunny. Warm and dry. So today we plan to go for a walk you could call it a hike but we didn't bring our boots. Our plan was to head to the black lake again then head to Ziminje Jesp for a picnic. The paths are supposed to be marked out with red and white lines or circles of the same colour. Easy enough I hear you say. But when you are in the forest watching out for bears, wolves and these signs you can easily miss a marker, which means [View Full Entry]

Getting bored He we are again another day in the mountains today we plan to do a bit of gorge walking in the second biggest canyon in the world. The Tara canyon, but first a drive over the bridge. This is a very impressive bridge called the Durdevica tara Bridge. Then we parked the car and set off for a walk the other side of the bridge where there was a sign for whitewater rafting but after twenty minutes walking we just came across a deserted camp and the end of the path, plus we were still around a 1000 feet [View Full Entry]

Royston Vasey To our surprise the place didn't seem any better in a different light of day so Tess decided we should leave them here locals and move out before we were made into the next mixed grill. Baggsey me Tess' kidney. So we checked out and started hunting for a new apartment. So after we settled our bill which took all our Euro as they don't take credit cards even though they display a vast range on there door that they take. we headed of to the bank to cash in our traveler cheques. If you decide to ever come [View Full Entry]
