Herceg Novi & stuff

Blimey, you'd think I'd been busy...
Well I've done all my online marking, caught some sun, drank some beer, swam our two swimming pools, and got about a bit.
If anyone remembers, one of my main reasons for coming. back to Montenegro during August was to visit a couple of film festivals (Bit of busman's holiday for a chap who researches film festivals but, hey, someone's gotta do it.)
If the Green Montenegro F. F. was a slight disappointment, then maybe the Montenegro International Film Festival would be a bit more er, (exciting, stimulating, engaging) rewarding? So I kept with the 'green' mood and went on the bus to Herceg Novi where the festival is based. (Unesco World Heritage site dontcha know).
Montenegro buses? Don't get me started.
I managed to find the festival office and persuaded one of the staff to give me an interview. A bit cheeky, but if you don't ask etc. It was okay, I got some stuff so the trip was worth it.
Can I cobble this stuff together and finish the article I started months back? We'll see. (It's the 'completist' in me that wants to get it finished - even though I've now definitely retired - Definitely.)
Herceg Novi is worth an explore. I've visited once or twice before, but always find a new alley or snicket or ginnel or ancient building that I hadn't seen earlier.Read more
