Kotor Bay, Montenegro |
On the ferry back across the straight |
Croatia in the South is bordered by Bosnia (the way we came in the other day) and in the East by Montenegro. We decided to join a small bus tour, which was very interesting.
We got collected just after 8 from close to our accommodation, and got the prime seats behind the driver.
This was a very entertaining part of the drive for dad and me, as the driver was Croatian and clearly had been on the job for many years. The guide however was French (chosen as we had some French guests on the trip). She was very new at the job and quite stroppy. The dynamics between the two was great to watch; he was not PC at all and had never been told about sexual harassment, but the fact that her English was not so good meant that most remarks he made went straight over her head.
He had a huge rant about Albania (bordering Montenegro on the other side) and started by asking if anyone was going there? No? Well, DON'T was his advice, and he proceeded to explain to us in details what there was to not like about Albania, apart from the fact it was full of dirty Albanians.
Montenegro however, is absolutely beautiful.

Strangely enough Montenegro is not part of the EU, but use Euros for their currency and the entire economy is built on tourism.
A delightful day altogether, and back home for another swim with dad at the beach nearby.
