Montenegro

Zabljak
Snow in June ?? Hotel Zabljak, straight out of 1960 Yugoslavia and hasn't changed a bit. Three meals of pork and copious amounts of oil. The spectacular scenery of the Durmitor National Park. Stunning Black Lake framed by snow capped peaks and pine forest. The brooding rounded mass of Mt Meded. A successful summit followed by a hair raising decent. Europes largest Canyon the Tara Gorge, impossibly steep cliffs and turquoise water.

Budva
Impressive thunderstorms. A well kept old town, with a distinct maritime feel. Numerous beaches on the 5 k walk to Sveti Stefan. A former fishing village now the home to the rich and famous. Swimming in its shadows in the crystal clear Adriatic.

Kotor
Southern Eu ropes largest Fjord and a relatively undiscovered stretch of water. Underground rivers bubbling under the authentic feeling Stari Grad. A days kayaking to Perast. A sleepy village home to a man made island. Next time we wont forget the suncream.

Herceg Novi
Our introduction to the phenomenon that is the concrete beach.
