      Podgorica 🇲🇪

      May 17, 2023 in Montenegro ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Nun sind wir in Montenegro 🇲🇪. Wir sind die gleiche Straße gefahren, wie vor 4 Jahren und haben auch den gleichen Grenzübergang genommen 😀 es hat alles total problemlos funktioniert. 🤗 Erster Stop: Wäsche abgeben, danach Vorräte aufgefüllt in einem riiiiesen Supermarkt 🛒 und danach haben wir einen sehr schönen Platz in einem Kiefernwald an den Stadtgrenzen gefunden 😀 und unser Ziel war auch erreicht: die Sonne ☀ kam endlich raus 😁
      Frühs haben wir Besuch vom Hirten bekommen, der war echt toll 😁 im feinen Anzug und hoch zu Roß 🐎
      Wir waren auf der Botschaft und wie klein die Welt doch ist: die Schwiegereltern von meinem Bearbeiter stammen aus Hammer & Bärenstein 😄 Auch Podgorica ist eine schöne grüne Stadt mit netten Geschäften - wir können gar nicht so richtig verstehen, warum niemanden die Stadt gefällt 🤷‍♀️ für Anton gab es Schokohörnchen mit richtig viel Schoko drinnen und für Mama & Papa neue Campingstühle und ne Bratpfanne 😁😂
      Leider macht auch seit einer Weile die Wasserpumpe anstalten und nun ist sie komplett ausgefallen 😮‍💨 das heißt für mich, immer Schubladen raus, um an die Tanks zu kommen und schön Wasser schöpfen mit einem Täschen und alle Gläser und Becher füllen 🥴😵‍💫😫

      Podgorica

      June 17, 2022 in Montenegro ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      In Podgorica gibt es nix zu sehen, haben mir viele Reisende gesagt. Aber einen Tag kann ich dort schon totschlagen, dachte ich mir. Also war mein nächstes Ziel die Hauptstadt Montenegros. Und was soll ich sagen... Viel ists wirklich nicht, aber schön fand ichs trotzdem. Es kommt immer auf die Menschen an, die man trifft. Der Hostelbesitzer war super nett und ist sogar mit mir und meiner indischen Zimmerkollegin was trinken gegangen und hat uns noch etwas die Stadt bei Dunkelheit gezeigt.Read more

      Podgorica

      October 1, 2016 in Montenegro ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Podgorica ist die Hauptstadt von Montenegro und wahrlich keine Sehenswürdigkeit.
      Wir haben zwar nach der ein oder anderen Attraktion gesucht, gefunden haben wir am Ende jedoch nichts außer der Uni und einer unschönen Statue.

      Dafür gibt es in den Bergen um Podgorica eine nette Farm, die sich Mountain Riders nennt. Wie der Name schon verrät haben wir uns in den Sattel geschwungen und haben drei wirklich schöne Stunden auf dem Rücken der Pferde verbracht. Sogar Philipp hatte so etwas wie Spaß, obwohl sein Pferd trotz guten Zuredens einfach nicht vorwärts wollte.

      Podgorica, Dom und Markthalle

      November 9, 2018 in Montenegro ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Morgens sind wir nochmal in die Stadt und haben uns den Dom angeschaut. Aussen zwar mächtig aber auch schlicht, innen glänzt er golden mit vielen Abbildungen.

      Danach wollten wir noch etwas einkaufen und auf dem Weg lag die Podgorica Mall. Wir konnten daneben parken und dabei entdeckten wir direkt davor eine große Markthalle. Supertoll.Read more

      We're In Montenegro

      June 26, 2019 in Montenegro ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

      Albania is behind us. We only scratched the surface of a complicated country. Before we left we visited the tomb of Skanderbeg, who in 1444 lead the Northern Albanian nobility to fight the Ottomans and is credited as being the father of Albania. We rode through the very crowded city of Shkoder, into beautiful farmland, crossing into even more beautiful Montegro. Good roads and no litter. It's hot, so we're laying up in a modern hotel in the capitol city, Podgorica.

      If you can't read the plate, it's says "Michigan."

      360° Contradictions

      March 3, 2019 in Montenegro ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      The trip started with flying from Berlin to Podgorica, the capital of the small country of Montenegro. When I landed, the day had just started and the spring sun made me start joyfully exploring the city. But first, I had to find my hostel. After checking in, leaving my luggage behind and petting the hostel dog, I made my way through town. I strolled around all day and experienced a city that is super diverse. I would see old, worn-down places next to hyper modern looking buildings. Complete wilderness was next to civilised monuments. It was interesting.
      I walked through a park and watched a wedding photo shoot where the bride looked like a princess belonging to the palace next to her. I walked into a church where yet again another couple got married and took photos. There was a lot of religion in the air, in the whole town by the way. Everywhere were bigger or smaller churches and everywhere they had little shelters outside for the candles that the believers would light for their deceased. It was calming.
      I really liked my first day in the city of contradictions.

      Transit

      November 14, 2017 in Montenegro ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      We had to check out by 10 even though the hostel is practically empty so we just waited in reception for an hour before going to the station.
      Bought our tickets and on we got the bus but first Will went and got a bottle of water - he came back laughing. As he was walking past the shop a man came out of one of the offices to go somewhere and he beckoned .... suddenly 3 cats waltz out :) they had a box and chair to sleep in for the mean time until he came back hah
      It was a 2 hour ride and I slept the entire way. I don't know at what time I go to bed last night but I know at 5:38 I was still wide awake lol.
      Arrived at Podgorica and luckily we walked the way we did because the plan was to meet the Bnb owners dad at the house. As we were walking a man approached us and said hi are you looking for bojana. Firstly, lucky we didn't brush him off because it's normally annoying taxi driers who approach you at stations and secondly luckily i knew our hosts name cause Will didn't have a clue. Yes, we wanted bojana 👍🏼
      He drove us to the house.
      The outside of the building is so ugly. The corridors smell like bubblegum.
      The lift to get up to the 5th level is so dodgy lol hopefully
      It doesn't break during our stay.

      We just chilled

      It's a cozy little apartment.
      We went to the shops to buy some basics then came back and both had a 5 hour sleep lol oops.
      I've wipped out my sleeping bag because it's cold.
      I cooked us hotdogs for dinner which would have been lovely if the bread wasn't stale 😒
      We both showered and then watched Big Bang for hours on the laptop. Unfortunately the Tvs sound isn't working for some reason so the dad is gonna drop by tomorrow to have a look.
      It's 3:30am and now it's finally time for bed. ☺️

      Podgorica

      November 15, 2017 in Montenegro ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

      Goood sleep :)

      So we did nothing all day😂😂
      I looked at work aways and that was the only thing I'd consider productive.

      Our tv doesn't work so the dad came and took it to get fixed.
      We were like it's fine don't woryy about and he just kept saying "no I MUST fix it" - he was very cute.
      Off he went to get it fixed. How very efficient lol.
      Within 30 minutes he was back. He fiddled with it for 30 minutes and made 2 phones calls and hey presto - the sound came on 🎉 off he went lol.

      We went out for dinner - we put a Chinese place into our map but along the way we came across a Hard Rock Cafe so we popped in there. We didn't spend a cent today so the prices evened out to be ok lol.
      The mango berry cooler was there 🎉🎉🎉 (had it in Poland)
      We had chicken wings and I had bruschetta. Food I actually wanted 😭😭
      The waiter was unfortunately very good so we felt obligated to tip because he was going out of his way.
      Damn lol
      Walked home and I fell asleep on the couch. William the complete dickhead woke me up at 1am by tickling my face so I opened my eyes and he was standing over me and I screamed.
      Heart rate was through the roof.

      Thanks to the big idiot I was then wide awake and watched pride and prejudice. I liked it much more than when I saw it with mothers group lol
      If I hadn't made myself read the book I probably still wouldnt have got it.
      Just proud of myself cause it proved I understood the book correctly haha

      We Skyped Jess and Jaxon kept trying to hug the phone 😭❤️

      Podgorica

      November 16, 2017 in Montenegro ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      I had an hour long bath/shower this morning trying to sort out my birds nest which is getting worse and worse by the day. My hair has actually died. I want to buy treatment stuff but it's like 10€ 😑boo.
      We went to the shopping center down the road and fun fact - Montenegro does not have a single fast food chain which is outrageous because Iraq had McDonalds and Afghanistan has KFC.
      Only option was some cafe thing. Eh.
      Didn't really want fast food but I'm more pointing out the chance of them having a food court is laughable.
      I found a random souvenir store and took my chance and bought a magnet because it's unlikely I'll find another place to get it.
      I got a cat bottle opener. We have literally done nothing in this country so it's the only relevant thing I could get.

      We bought pasta and sauce for us to make ourselves dinner with tonight and went home.

      1 season of Big Bang was watched today 😂

      We cooked the pasta but the stove is really bad so the water never reached boiling? Sections were overcooked and others were not cooked enough. It was pretty crap, but cheap so whatever.

      We did another load of washing and hung them up outside. Will is out of long pants so he has put on my track pants but they are too short so he looks like a dill.

      Another beautifully lazy day.
      As tomorrow will be 😂

      Podgorica

      November 17, 2017 in Montenegro ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      It's 2:47pm and thus far we have had breakfast and done the dishes. That's it.

      Watched Big Bang.

      Went to dinner at hard rock again. Service was shit so we didn't tip 🤗
      Walked past the American embassy- it is once again ridiculous. A Fort Knox.

      Commbank down for the 72 time - 2nd time in Montenegro alone. We had to use our other card. Loving the extra costs 😑😑😑😑😑😑

      I wanted a cup of tea so bad I boiled water on the stove.
      This house would be perfect if it had a kettle and a drying rack. Oh and tongs.

      The air here is really making my chest feel tight.

      I couldn't sleep again.
      So I got up and I watched 50 shades darker on the laptop - I then went back to the bedroom to try sleep again but got kicked out because I was being too loud with all my tossing at turning hahah
      I don't know what time I fell asleep but I know at 6:03 I was awake.

      We have also been spending time trying to figure out our route when we go back to the Schengen. Can't wait to go back lol

      They play a lot of Michael Jackson around the place.
