Hitchhiking to Montenegro

Hitchhiking from Shköder to Montenegro proved to be more difficult as hitchhiking within Albania

I was waiting for a while for a ride, the traffic in direction of Montenegrian border was scarce and no one would stop for me

After about 20 minutes a guy on a scooter stopped for me, but I did reject this ride, it didn't seem very convenient to take a big backpack with me on his scooter

After not getting a ride for 30 minutes I decided to start walking already, the montenegrian border was only about 20 kilometers, after walking for only a few minutes a guy stopped for me

He wasn't going to Montenegro but he was going halfway and wanted to give me a ride
He spoke very good english, he told me I could try to travel by bike, so I can just keep going and I won't have to wait for a ride all the time

He also told me about his project, he runs a guesthouse, his project is called 'free showers' and all hostels or guesthouses who join in the project are offering free accommodation to people travelling with a bike

After the guy dropped me off at his guesthouse I started walking again

When I was only 5 kilometers from the montenegrian border someone finally stopped for me

He was going to Lucinj and could drop me there

After I got to Lucinj I wanted to go further north to Bar

I wandered a bit around in Lucinj first and went for a walk, hoping to find a good spot to hitchhike, this turned out to be a big mistake

I walked for a while but could not find a good hitchhiking spot nor could I find a good place to pitch my tent since almost every plot of land seemed like it was private property

I found the highway again but it was a terrible spot on the highway, cars were coming by too fast and there was barely room for a car to stop

After about 40 minutes one guy who was entering the highway honked at me and signed to me to get in, so I got in his car

It was a kosovan guy who lived in Germany and Antwerp and now he lives in Montenegro

He was going to Dobra Voda but he went out of his way to drive me to Bar because it was getting dark already and he wanted to make sure I safely arrived in Bar!Baca lagi
