While spending a week in Dubrovnik on the Croatian coast with Eric and Amparo, we decided to drive down a bit to Montenegro. While Chisako officially needs a visa to enter the republic of Serbia, the borderguards of Montenegro have different ideas about who runs their country, and besides from a few impolite looks the border crossing is remarkable easy. Click on the the picture for the large version Chisako in Kotor While Montenegro is not a popular tourist destination for the average traveller, Serbians flock to its beautiful coastline by the thousands. It's probably the only choice they have nowadays as Serbians are not particularly welcomed in most of the newly independent neighboring countries. But to our surprise Montenegro offers a fantastic choice. The southernmost fjord in Europe at sunset is stunning, while the old town of Kotor matches the beauty of similar towns along the Croation coast without the feeling of being caught in a tourist trap. And the nightlife in Herzog Novi is livelier and less pretentious than Dubrovnik. I will certainly come back to spend more time exploring this relatively unspoiled country.
