Bryan and Tess

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 out from yesterday is we were driving along the road back to our appartment, indicated just before turning. Pulled on to our drive seconds before getting tooted at and a van pulled over to give ... read more

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. ... read more

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 our walk to the old town we stopped for a drink and bite to eat on a beach front café they took a walk upon the fort walls then had another drink at the Restoran ... read more

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 didn't cost us anything either. Drinks were bought out to you whilst you laid back and soaked up the sun. The only drawback is getting into the sea can be hard work, dodging slippy rocks ... read more

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 to say the roads around Zabljak are very bad . It's like driving along a quarry road. But with the added challenge of dodging other cars aiming for you. Which now has happened on quite ... read more

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 you can end up going in the wrong direction for We came across another hiker who for some reason got scared walking in the forest when his friend scampered ahead to check if they were ... read more

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 from the river below. Back at the car we decide to drive along the gorge to a town called Mojkovac. Discribed in the travel guide as an old polluted mining town. It Also mentions quiet ... read more

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 to Montenegro, especially Zabljak just bring cash as they don't change traveler cheques. Not even the post office. Nor do any of the hotels we asked so off to the hole in the wall. Hope ... read more
