    At present I am 5 days behind in my writings so the memories are becoming a bit clouded

    Our time here is drawing to a close, it has been a good 8 day stop, continually moving around does wear you down.... so not have to pack and unpack every few days is great...

    So today’s activities revolved around getting my pictures up to date and diary which seems to be forever getting ahead of me...
    Sitting on the balcony here seeing the ocean even at a distance seems to have a calming affect upon us both, but me especially.

    Our host Mila is a hard working man he us in his late 60’s so not a young man at all. But outs in long days... His son told us he had project to finish and it had to be done by the end of today. He is a tiler so a very physical job... plus he is building about another 6-8 apartments behind this one... big tasks indeed.

    I got my pics done by lunch time, we had lunch at home then headed into Bar to the Chemist for some Nylstat I have to be in long term... I ran out just after arriving in the Uk, and was waiting to get to somewhere like here hoping it would be cheaper... my glory how cheap it is... it works out at less than 1/2 the price at home.. it cost €2.28 which is about $3.50 at home I pay $12 at chemist warehouse about $17 at normal chemists so huge we have a huge mark uo that’s for sure.. I bought 4 bottles the other day and another 5 today hoping this will last me until the end of the year... will have to see, mine you the Aussie one tastes heaps better this is just awful... but the savings are worth it...

    We looked around at the shops nothing much offering really, shops here and there... Bought some supplies from the supermarket, I have decided that all supermarkets check out chicks either hate tourists or hate life, it one has been nice or friendly but rude and impatient with you. We had to change a bug note after John had just been to the teller my glory you would think we were committing the unpardonable sin... she went in and in I her language , but we didn’t need an interpreter to tell us she was very angry she had to change it...

    I wasn’t backing down if a supermarket can’t change money where could you get it done... anyway I won she cashed it I am sure she was still going on as we walked away...

    From here we went along the northern end of town to the beaches to have a drink, the beach here is just all pebbles, and looks very uncomfortable to be on but heaps were... we sat under the pine trees at one if the restaurants along the beach front watching people... the views from their main beach aren’t very inviting, on the left side of bay looking out is a massive quarry they have cut an absolute eyesaw in the hills, plus there is a huge oil refinery on the hills as you enter the bay... looks awful, but people are happy.. so I guess it dies t matter to them...

    We finished our time here and headed towards home past the huge church again, it truly is a. Unreal sight to see at this time if the afternoon, glowing by the arvo sun...

    Then home, I cooked chucked and veggies for dinner tonight a home cooked meal... yum... as always left overs hope the next place has a microwave to heat up the extra...

    That’s our time done in Montenegro we have throughly enjoyed it here... crazy traffic, the building is really out of control... but cheap as with food and beer for a John, wines a bit dearer... but the whole country is utterly unreal in it terrain, sights and most people we have met except for checkout chicks, (but that’s been in every country) have been very friendly... would definitely recommend for people to visit this country.
