Rach and I had decided that Montenegro was to be our next destination and invited Mum to join us, so with flights booked and Mum helping to choose where we’d be staying, deciding that she needed a complete new wardrobe, we were all set. With Dad not being much of a traveler, Mum had had her wings clipped, but before she met Dad, she’d traveled extensively by car with family through Europe. So she was super excited to be heading off with us, and after the strain of the last year, she needed a break and it would hopefully be a healthy distraction.
On the last day of May, Friday morning, we boarded the plane heading to Montenegro, and after about a 3-hour flight, we touched down safely in Tivat on what was an overcast and drizzly late morning. After eventually clearing customs (it’s the first time in a long time that I’ve been singled out, but apparently, they’d seen something suspicious through the scanner), we loaded the luggage into the taxi and set off. We stopped en route at an ATM and then to pick up a couple of SIM cards, something we always do when we’re outside of Europe.
We arrived about 40 minutes later at our Airbnb in Donja Lastva, situated on the northeast side of the Bay of Kotor. The apartment we’d chosen wasn’t the largest we’ve stayed in, but the view across the bay and up into the mountains was simply stunning and more than made up for it. After a quick pit stop and with the rain abating, we headed off to explore and pick up some groceries. There’s a really nice quiet walk along the shoreline which takes you down into Port of Montenegro, which is a vibrant playground of the super-rich, but more on that later.
First thoughts on Montenegro are that it looks beautiful. We’re looking forward to exploring more and enjoying this new adventure together.
