• Made it to Montenegro... just

    Oct 5–6 in Montenegro ⋅ 🌧 8 °C

    As it turned out, we didn't need to worry about getting car insurance at the Montenegro border, it was easy. What we didn't anticipate was the customs officer asking for the registration document for the caravan 🤷 We both shrugged our shoulders (when I checked on gov.uk it was only needed for outfits more than 3.5 tonnes which we aren't). He wasn't going to let us through but then Nige stuck his bottom lip out... he asked us where we were going and for how long and said "don't do it again as I will be in trouble" 😅 We just made it to our campsite in the Zeta valley before it began raining cats & dogs for 12 hours straight. When we got up this morning, there was a moat around the caravan! Today, after the rainclouds had cleared, we went to Lovcen National Park where we hiked up the Jezerski Vrh mountain & visited the Njegos Mausoleum - you climb 470 steps through the tunnel & pop out the other side of the mountain for 360 views of Montenegro, Kotor Bay, Lake Skadar & the Albanian Alps. Quite stunning if also a bit vertigo inducing! On the way back to the campsite, the cops had shut the main road due to an accident so we thought we would detour via the smaller mountain road. What a mistake that was - it turned into a 2 hour 'worlds most dangerous roads' in the dark, with no passing places. That's quite enough adrenaline for one day thank-you 😬Read more
