Camp Kljajevića Luka

It has been a bit of a strange day today, mainly because we didn't have any kind of plan. Originally, we wanted to head south along the coast towards Albania but looking at the weather we decided to head inland instead.

So we crossed back on the ferry that we were on 2 days ago and then took the road north. Wow, what a great road. Much of our route covered the same ground as some of the Panoramic Roads of Montenegro - see https://www.montenegro.travel/en/explore-monten….

We had a brief stop for coffee overlooking the lakes at Niksic, then tried to go into the town itself. We were defeated. The town looked pretty horrible tbh and parking was almost impossible. We shopped on the outskirts, then moved on, still unsure where we were headed.

About an hour later, after we had stopped for lunch, we joined a long queue of traffic on a mountain road above a town called Šavnik. We sat there for about 2 hours, completely stuck and with nobody in the queue quite sure what the problem was.

Eventually we started moving.

Apparently, there is some sort of ongoing dispute in the town and the protestors have been blocking the road for 3 hours every afternoon. Nice!

By this time we had decided where we were going but about halfway there we crossed a narrow bridge over a gorge, which we naturally stopped to photograph. We realised that there was a campsite at the end of the bridge, one that we had rejected earlier when we looked at it on Google maps. We decided to take a closer look and it is actually really nice, so we have stopped here for the night.

We are in the Durmitor National Park which has some stunning scenery.

We are expecting rain all day tomorrow so planning on a long drive into Serbia.Read more
