Accommodations:
Hotel Zabljak - A
communist-style hotel in
Durmitor National Park. A bit
depressing, to be honest (21
Euros/night).
Hotel Rendezvous - Great
location in the middle of Kotor
(30 Euros/night).
Room in a place in Budva -
excellent, renovated, nice
bathroom and some CNN for
those rainy nights to put me to
sleep (20 Euros/night).
Other Sites:
Hotel Vardar - Great
restaurant and cafe in Kotor. A
cheese plate was a nice change.
Ice Bar - Great cafe in Budva
with free wifi.
Kornoba Stari Grad - Got
some of my Adriatic coast
specialties at this cosy
restaurant.

My Montenegrin Experience... Highs: Walking up to St. John's Fortress in Kotor for some wonderful fjord views; some tasty wine; the scenery throughout the country. Lows: Things being much more expensive than my guidebook said; mosquitoes; not being able to see any mountains in Durmitor National Park due to the foggy/misty weather; rainy weather on the coast. Best Moment: Finally seeing sun in Budva on Day #3 there. Getting to enjoy the town, sea and beach! Smells: Grilled seafood. Sounds: Church bells waking me up in the morning in Kotor. Sights: St. John's Fortress (2 Euros); Crno Jezera in Durmitor National Park; the mountains and coastline. Tastes: Vranac - Montenegrin red wine; local cheeses; seafood; cevapi; crepes with apple jam; lots of cappuccinos; cherry strudel. Purchases: None. Street Food: Not much but there are 'pekaras' (bakeries) where there is burek and strudel. Fun Food Finds: Cappuccino Kit Kats are great. Western Companies Out Here: Haven't seen any yet! Other General Info... Visa needed? No. Type of currency? They use the Euro. Things Montenegro Is Known For: Diverse landscape (I don't know if it's officially known for this, but this is what stood out to me!). Transportation: Taking buses in the norm. I took a bus from Sarajevo to Zabljak (Durmitor National Park) via Niksic for 17 Euros (7 hours); a bus from Zabljak to Kotor via Pogorica was 12 Euros (5 hours). Religion: Catholic??? (at least I think so) Costs: 280 Euros |
