Hello from Stoliv

Hello from the deepest Fjord in Southern Europe...It's absolutely spectacular here! From Tirana we went straight to Petrovac in Montenegro. Lying on the beach in the town it felt like we were a part of a very crazy circus! People walking around with monkeys, alligators and deep fried something-or-other-balls. Lachie and Dan had partied hard with the Serbs till the wee hours of the morning. Ahhh...the Serbs. Such friendly people! We are now in a little Stari Grad (old town) near Kotor, right on the water where we haven't been able to bring ourselves to leave for the past 5days! We've been exploring the local area, hiking up to deserted towns in the hills and meeting lots of locals who are so happy to talk, show us around and help in every way. Montenegro is such a beautiful place, huge mountains crashing into crystal water with boats bobbing around in the bays. It should be a must for everyones next trip. Everyday we wake up to the most spectacular views we have ever seen, this is what this trip is about!!

Yummy, funny dinner in Tirana
