Dobra Dosli u Crna Gora



We went to Montenegro for a couple of weeks and just got back. Seems like no matter which place we visit I always think that is my favorite place in the whole world while I am there. But Montenegro really does have a very special place in my heart. It is about an eight hour drive to the coast from Pristina but the sights you see before you get to Budva! You can't imagine. It really is "Wild Beauty". That's part of the advertising campaign they are using on their tourism commercials. I'll post some photos I took while we were there, not in any particular order.
These two are from Jaz Beach which is about a 10 minute drive north of Budva. We like the beach there, too, but it's more crowded than Jaz so we went here most of the time. (By the way, Jaz is pronounced "yahz" and it means abyss in Serbian.
Just look at the water: crystal clear and as warm as bath water. The beach itself is very rocky with a hard surf which is perfect for grinding down little pieces of glass to produce the beach glass seen here. I picked up about a pound of it while there, but tried to find the really pretty light aqua colored ones. They were a lot more difficult to pick out in all the rocks but the green ones sparkled like emeralds.
The weather was perfect this year, too, not up to 100 degrees like last year. We brought three bottles of 50+ spf sunscreen and slathered it on. We didn't get one speck of a sunburn, miracle of miracles.
