I've been learning how to pronounce Montenegrin place names by simply wildly mispronouncing them in front of Montenegrins. This isn't deliberate โ I'm not trying to be disrespectful โ it just so happens that my best guess is usually laughably inaccurate. So far people have just been gently correcting me with a smile and I [...]
We need to talk about burek. I could eat this shit all day. It's a flaky pastry stuffed with meat, or spinach, or cheese, or whatever. We first had it in Virpazar, little cheese and spinach triangles and tiny cheese spirals. But this morning our host baked a massive cheese spiral for breakfast and it [...]
The reason I wanted us to camp here within the Biogradska Gora National Park was because I knew it'd be chaos when the day trippers were here. I wanted us to experience the calm when they left which I'm sure Tarrant did but I was too busy with my head down the toilet. At least [...]
I'm really enjoying Montenegro but I feel like learning road etiquette would be so much less stressful if other drivers weren't so impatient. You can take the calmest, most rational person in the world but as soon as you put them behind the wheel of a car they become filled with the Rage of a [...]
We booked our lake cruise on Get Your Guide before arriving in Montenegro because I wanted to make sure we got one. I needn't have worried, this place consists entirely of people trying to sell you a boat tour. You've got everything from one-man bands who don't really speak English to full outfits with staff [...]
The plan this morning was to go for a swim in a nearby river followed by a little jaunt up to a waterfall for more swimming. Possibly the kind of swimming that would cryogenically freeze all of your organs but the days were sticky and hot so we'd probably relish these few minutes of cold. [...]
Today we'd be driving to Bar. Or I'd be driving, Tarrant would be sitting in the passenger seat periodically reminding me that we're meant to be driving on the right and also I have a whole car to the right of me and she'd thank me to remember that when considering my road positioning. We [...]
We got a relatively early start on Monday on account of The Chores. Supermarkets don't open on Sundays in Montenegro (convenience shops do so don't panic, you can still buy beers) so we wanted to get some grocery shopping done in the morning, plus we needed some camping gas for the few nights we'd planned [...]
I do love an uneventful journey. I think I still have a spot of anxiety from when we went to Mallorca and if it could go tits up it absolutely did go tits up with utter malevolent glee culminating in a Segway accident, which Tarrant is still seeing a physio for a year later. Apparently [...]
Sunday - UFO tower Monday - City walking tour Tuesday - Hrad Devรญn Wednesday - Wine tasting Slovak food & drink Tarrant lost her penknife weeks ago. We had no idea where it might have been. She'd periodically turn the house upside-down looking for it to no avail, it was quite the mystery. Of course [...]
