Busy Days

Montenegro is a country I have heard a lot about as it is the motherland of my employers for the past few years. Also I have them to thank for my very basic Serbian vocabulary and even more basic knowledge of the Cyrillic alphabet which has actually helped a bit during our time in the Balkans. We started our time in the country with a stop in the old town of Kotor, but after walking around for a while we realised there wasn't too much to see and from there started a frenzy of bus-hopping. First to Budva then Bar before finally stopping in Ulcinj for a few hours sleep. Next morning we caught the early morning bus across the Albanian border to Schkodra and then another bus to the capital of Tirana, then a few hours later we got on one final bus and 18 hours later we arrived in Athens where we after almost one month of travelling crossed into a new timezone for the first time. It was a a bit of a shame we didn't stay longer in any place, but it feels like Montenegro is best experienced during the warmer summer months when one can enjoy it's nice beaches, so I shall save it for a separate trip some time in the future.
