I spent my first two nights in Montenegro in Kolašin, which is situated between the Bjelasica mountains in the North, and the Komovi mountains in the South.

14 Hours in Belgrade
Just 14 hours are not very much for exploring Belgrade. However, I did not have more time as my night train from Vienna did not arrive until after 8.00 a.m., and my next night train (to Montenegro) already left at 10.10 p.m. Still, I had enough time to get a first impression of the city.

Skadar Lake
Today, I went on another guided tour, this time to Skadar Lake. However, I could not profit of the commentary of our tour guide – it was all in Russian. But Skadar Lake is enjoyable even (or especially?) without comment. Continue reading Skadar Lake

Pilgrim for a day
To make the most of my stay in Budva, I took advantage of the tourist infrastructure today, and went on a guide tour. On this tour, we visited Cetinje (the former capital), and the Ostrog monasteries. Continue reading Pilgrim for a day

Am I in Russia?
As I enjoyed Kotor that much, I have been looking forward to my next destination, Budva. This time, however, my (now quite high) expectations have not been fulfilled. Continue reading Am I in Russia?

From Dubrovnik, I continued down the coast to the South, into Montenegro. Even while I was still on the bus on my way to Kotor, I had already decided that I really like this area. Continue reading Fjord of the South

Things to know about Dubrovnik
When you are travelling, you can learn quite a few things. For me, my stay in Dubrovnik meant learning some things about the city that I did not expect – mainly because these were things a travel guide will not really talk about. Continue reading Things to know about Dubrovnik
