Montenegro

📌 We caught the bus out of Tirana, we were both keen on Montenegro as we weren't sure what to expect. The change from Albania was drastic, it seemed much cleaner l, upmarket and more adequately set up for tourists.

📌 We had one night in Budva to suss out another town, the place had a very upmarket almost pretentious vibe about it, influencer types everywhere. It was however, a beautiful walled town on the water, and it was worth a visit. The highlight was our dinner, this was the official anniversary date and the meal was delicious with excellent service.

📌 We spent the next few days in Kotor, a popular spot where the bay was enclosed within beautiful rugged mountains. The bay was lined with venetian ports, the old town was quaint, particularly when the cruise ships had left for the day and there were cats everywhere! We enjoyed a hike up to the peaks behind the city with an American/Indian guy before heading back down and stopping at a local hillside house for home made cheese and wine. It was quiet, the views were outstanding and it was one of the highlights. Our last dinner in Kotor was another treat, a little out of the town was a tiny pizza shop with the friendliest owner, he even gave us some beer on the house 🍻Read more
